Recycled building material
The term recycling building material (also recycling building material or short RC building material ) summarizes various building materials that are reused in some way . A recycled building material can have different material properties depending on its origin.
According to the definition in road construction , recycled building materials are aggregates that are obtained from used building materials. This then includes rubble and the materials that arise when roads are dismantled. These are also known as road breaks.
In a more comprehensive definition, RC building materials are building materials that have been recycled from waste . In this meaning one speaks of substitute building materials . In addition to construction waste, this also includes other by-products that arise in industrial processes.
