Patent no. RO A10023/2010
The advent of value added products by use of by-products
from a wide range of industries is one of the solutions the
scientific community is called upon to provide for a
sustainable future for mankind.
This invention will present a green concrete mix developed
as part of a PhD research programme, aiming at finding
uses for waste glass.
Description Costs are lower than for normal concrete since waste
EN products are already available; cement and/or aggregates
may be replaced by materials that are capable of providing
high durability with no strength loss making the final product
not only cost effective but also suitable for structural and
non-structural members {slabs, façade panels, swimming
polls, wellness centres, architectural panels for elevators,
architectural concrete, stairs (tread & riser), garden & urban
furniture, etc}, with a prominent ecological character.
