The handling and excavation of new excavated soil leads to an unnecessarily large climate impact. The procurement authority has therefore developed new sustainability criteria for excavation materials that can be used in procurement and project planning.
Sustainability criteria for excavated soil - good in many ways
- "Our experience is that there are major economic and environmental benefits to be gained from increased recycling of excavated soil. We therefore welcome these new durability criteria for excavation materials and are ready with the technical solutions to deliver to those who will handle materials according to the new requirements", says Daniel Carlberg, CEO of Norditek Group.
According to the procurement authority, the climate impact of the construction sector must be significantly reduced and contracting organizations can make a difference by setting higher sustainability requirements when making purchases. Therefore, criteria have been developed for the handling of rock, sand, gravel and other excavation materials. The requirements should help to increase the reuse of masses and reduce the associated transports. Norditek has extensive experience in recycling excavation masses and topsoil and we are ready to deliver the technical solutions that meet the new requirements.
For example, see how our Terex Washing Systems machines recycle excavated soil in Belgium.
