Did you know that you can upgrade specific waste flows, such as construction and demolition waste, into valuable raw materials? This helps you to achieve savings in waste processing as well as in the purchasing of new raw materials. VITO specialises in researching and developing new technologies for waste upgrading.
Knowing your waste
What are the properties of your waste? Which residual flow is suitable as a secondary raw material? For this, you will first need to know your residual flows. Our experts have a wide range of instruments to determine the physical and chemical properties of your waste. Based on this data we investigate the applications for which your waste could be eligible. Two major aspects in this evaluation are the environmental impact and the long-term effects of re-usage. Thanks to their support work for the regulatory authoriites, our experts are also well placed to advise you on obtaining recycling certificates.
Advice from research to commissioning
Based on the characteristics of your residual flow, our experts compare various processing and recycling techniques. They do this on the basis of material recuperation, energy, environmental impact, investment and operational management. We also guide you during the implementation of new systems into your existing infrastructure. Thereafter, we closely monitor the performance of the secondary raw materials in their new application and make corrections wherever necessary.
