Written by Amrita Kumari | May 14, 2024 1:00:00 PM

Recycled concrete is a sustainable and eco-friendly substitute for traditional concrete aggregates. It is also known as crushed concrete aggregate (CCA). The process involves crushing demolished concrete structures like buildings, bridges, and pavements into smaller pieces. These pieces are sorted, screened, and processed to create usable aggregate material. This method is an environmentally responsible approach to repurposing concrete waste and reducing the need for new materials.
