In this article we analyse recarbonation in concrete production as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Solutions from the Mapei RE-CON range can help transforming waste into carbon dioxide-absorbing aggregates, potentially reducing the environmental impact and costs of concrete production.

Used in Scandinavian countries since 2019, this method developed by Mapei transforms waste into reusable aggregates, promoting recycling and sustainability in the construction industry. RE-CON DRY WASHING also reduces the use of water and costs.

RE-CON AGG technology tries to tackle the shortage of high-quality natural sand and gravel used as raw materials in concrete production. By mitigating the slump loss, this range of admixtures help reducing costs, environmental impact, and ensuring high-performance concrete.
