At JLM Ingeniería, we take another step forward in our commitment to technological innovation and industrial sustainability with the installation and commissioning of a new REC100 plant for the treatment and recovery of construction and demolition waste (C&DW).
With this new installation, our customers can transform waste into recovered materials with new possibilities for use, moving towards a more efficient and circular management model.
Regulatory Compliance and Legislation in C&DW Management
The construction sector faces increasingly demanding requirements regarding the separation, treatment and recovery of waste. Spanish legislation establishes specific obligations to improve the sorting of construction and demolition waste and promote its recovery.
Law 7/2022 on Waste and Contaminated Soil for a Circular Economy establishes specific targets for non-hazardous C&DW and reinforces the separate sorting of different waste fractions.
The installation of a REC100 enables more efficient sorting and treatment of materials, helping companies adapt their processes to applicable requirements and improve the traceability and recovery of their waste.
Consult Law 7/2022 on Waste and Contaminated Soil for a Circular Economy in the Spanish Official State Gazette.Efficient Separation and Sorting: The Key to the Process
The value of waste depends to a large extent on the quality of its separation. The REC100 plant has been designed to optimise the different stages of the sorting process and facilitate material recovery.
-
Particle size separation Sorting of the different mineral fractions present in C&DW.
-
Removal of unwanted materials Separation of ferrous materials and removal of light materials such as plastic, wood or paper.
-
Optimised performance Equipment designed to provide reliable operation, with optimised consumption and reduced maintenance requirements.
The REC100 configuration can integrate pre-screening, conveying, magnetic separation, pneumatic separation and sorting solutions, combining different types of equipment within a modular installation that can be adapted to the requirements of each project.
Proper sorting not only helps meet waste management requirements, but also reduces contamination between fractions and improves the quality of recovered materials, facilitating their subsequent use when they meet the corresponding technical and legal requirements.
Contribution to the Circular Economy and the Environment
Beyond legal obligations, the treatment of C&DW plays an important role in the circular economy applied to the construction sector.
The treatment and recovery of these materials can provide significant benefits from both an environmental and operational perspective.
-
Reduction of waste sent to landfill The sorting and recovery of materials reduces the fractions destined for disposal and promotes their subsequent use.
-
Preservation of natural resources The use of recovered materials in new applications can reduce the need to rely exclusively on natural raw materials, provided that they meet the applicable technical requirements.
-
Waste recovery Proper separation makes it possible to transform materials that initially represent a management cost into fractions with new possibilities for recovery and use.
At JLM Ingeniería, we design and manufacture recycling and recovery equipment aimed at improving waste treatment processes. The REC100 demonstrates how applied engineering can help combine operational efficiency, material recovery and the circular economy.
