The rising global average temperature was the main topic at the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference in Glasgow during the climate summit in 2021 (COP26). The meeting aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and to discuss the transfer of funds to developing countries. The Europen Green Deal has the same goals. The European Commission aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Climate change has a negative impact on environmental biodiversity, the occurrence of natural disasters, and human health and life. The degradation of the environment is caused, among others, by the extraction of natural resources and the emission of greenhouse gases. Currently, the problem is also the excessive amount of waste and an insufficient number of installations for its processing. In Poland, the greatest problem is with combustible waste, which is stored, while the capacity of final installations is limited. The solution will be the construction of more facilities.
The new waste treatment infrastructure will generate more secondary waste. Secondary waste is problematic in management. The largest amount is bottom ash (30% of the batch), but the most burdensome waste is the hazardous fly ash (it is about 3-5% of the batch). Bottom ash is coded as 19 01 12 and fly ash is coded as 19 01 07 *.
The management of secondary waste is in the idea of Circular Economy. Thanks to the management of secondary waste, the amount of extracted natural resources and the amount of waste in landfills are reduced.
Concrete mixes are an environment that immobilizes pollutants well, therefore they are suitable for containing secondary waste as substitutes for natural resources.
Life Cycle Assessment additionally confirms that recycling of secondary waste is compiling with the goals of Sustainable Development and the Europen Green Deal. Thanks to closing the loop, the negative impact on the environment is decreasing.
