ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF CERAMIC WASTE RECYCLING THROUGH ITS USE AS AGGREGATE IN MINERAL-ASPHALT MIXTURES
Journal Title: Economic and Regional Studies/ Studia Ekonomiczne i Regionalne - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Subject and purpose of work This article is a continuation of ongoing research; whose primary aim was to show ceramic waste as a full-value substrate for the production of mineral-asphalt mixtures. The authors, basing on the examined characteristics of aggregate obtained in the process of crushing the socalled “ceramic cullet”, present the thesis that this material can be a full-fledged aggregate for concretes used in road construction. The authors emphasize ecological advantages of such a solution. The purpose of this research was to analyse whether such measures as those described above are economically justifiable. Materials and methods In the article, based on business data, the costs were estimated and compared to the prices of the aggregates used by companies producing asphalt mixtures. Results Economic comparisons have shown that the costs of described recycling were not satisfactory. Conclusions Taking into account the ecological effect, it is recommended that ceramic waste is recycled by using it for the production of mineral-asphalt mixes for general use.
