About the business model:
Currently, this location is an abandoned land on which several tons of industrial waste, being mostly ceramic waste, clay material and bricks, are stored. Most of wastes were left by an old brick manufacturing company that finished its activities a few years ago, when the construction sector got into recession process. The old ceramic bricks kilns located inside the actual CTC facilities will be demolished and its waste will be extracted in order to process them and develop new products that will be used as new construction materials in the development of the Cinderela Demo Cases construction

There are multiple types of converted waste that are being used on the pilot plant: 

  • Recycled Mixed Aggregates (RMA) are the fractions obtained from construction and demolition waste treatment composed by a mix of concrete aggregates, stones and ceramic products as their predominant components. 
  • Recovered Sand and Clay
  • Coarse recycled concrete aggregates: Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) are the fractions obtained from construction and demolition waste treatment it will consist of concrete, concrete products, mortars and pieces for concrete masonry factory.
  • Fine Recycled Concrete Aggregates
  • Ultrafine Recycled Concrete Particles
  • Fine Recycled Ceramic Aggregates
  • Ultrafine Recycled Ceramic Particles
  • Recovered soil and stones
  • Reclaimed asphalt pavement
  • Fine Recycled Glass
  • Ultrafine Recycled Glass
