A scaled solution for domestic waste
Nu-Rock technology has the proven capability to incorporate household waste-rubbish such as plastics, paper and glass into Nu-Rock products Pavers and Aggregates. Blended with industrial waste material such as coal ash, steel dusts and slags or even alumina red muds, Nu-Rock products containing shredded or crushed household waste materials maintain superior performance over concrete-based products.
Nu-Rock technology represents an exciting solution to the global problem of finding large scale household ‘waste’ applications. Working with local governments and waste management companies, Nu-Rock is developing strategic partnerships and product solutions designed to feed circular economies and to reduce domestic waste stockpiling.
Another significant breakthrough for the domestic waste management industry is that Nu-Rock technology can utilise the bottom ash which is a bi-product of incinerating non-recyclables. The ‘Formulated Rock’ that Nu-Rock’s patented process creates, permanently locks up and neutralizes any potentially toxic elements, thus making this material safe for repurposing as aggregates for use in road building and mine void back filling.
Emissions free manufacturing
Nu-Rock‘s ‘Formulated Rock’ technology involves an emissions free manufacturing process. A vast improvement on the centuries-old, energy-hungry processes involving the quarrying, transporting and kiln burning of limestone at 1500°C. Plus, the quarrying and transporting of precious and finite natural resources such as sand and aggregates. Or energy hungry Clay based product manufacturing that involves a 7-day warming and drying process at 500°C followed by a 3-day firing process at 1050°C.
