Research & development methodology for recycling residues as building materials-a proposal

摘要

This article presents a proposal of methodology for conducting such research and development. The data/statistics waste collec- tion statistics phase must cover geographical distribution, seasonal variations onproduction rates, waste management practices, current applications and their related costs and revenues. Waste characterisation must be comprehensive with physical, environ- mental and chemical aspects, including waste variability and wastes contamination from shipping, handling and storage activities.
