On-site recycling of excavated material can be particularly beneficial in several circumstances. Both from an economic and an environmental perspective. Here are some situations when it can be particularly appropriate:
- Large project volumes: If the project generates large quantities of excavated material, it may be cost-effective to recycle the material on site to reduce transportation costs and the need to purchase new material.
- Environmental impact: For projects that aim to minimize their environmental impact, recycling excavated material on site can reduce emissions from transport and contribute to more sustainable construction practices.
- Time savings: On-site recycling can reduce the time required for logistics and handling of materials, which can speed up the construction process and reduce the overall project timeline.
- Local regulations and incentives: In regions where there are strict environmental regulations or economic incentives for recycling and reusing construction materials, it may be beneficial to process materials on site.
- Remote or inaccessible locations: In locations where transportation costs are high or access to recycling facilities is limited, it may be more efficient to handle excavated material directly on site.
If you are considering recycling excavated material, it is easy to investigate whether the material on site can be reused and whether the project is economically viable. Norditek receives material samples and can effectively determine whether the masses can be recycled.
The main benefits of recycling excavated soil are:
- Thousands of journeys of heavy traffic in inner cities can be avoided to remove materials that can be reused on site.
- By recycling materials, there is no need to mine new rock or excavate new soil and transport heavy traffic to the site.
- Major economic benefits for landowners in reduced transportation, reduced purchasing and reduced landfill costs.
- Huge environmental benefits in terms of traffic reduction and reuse of existing materials.
