Restoring large scale waste sites
A compelling alternative to the environmentally dangerous practice of burying waste or creating waste dams, Nu-Rock’s mission to repair and restore the natural environment involves the complete remediation and restoration of large- scale waste sites of all descriptions. By positioning Nu-Rock manufacturing plants on or near waste sites, the process of moving and recycling huge volumes of waste becomes economically viable and logistically manageable.
Nu-Rock plants can process up to 500,000 tonnes of waste material per year (depending on products being made and the type of waste stream being used) which means it is now possible to fully remediate large scale waste sites containing millions of tonnes of waste material.
Over the coming decade Nu-Rock Licensees are forecast to reclaim and repurpose over twenty million tonnes of coal ash from ash dams on Power Stations, plus over fifteen million tonnes of wastes stockpiled at Steel works, Non-Ferrous Metal Smelters, Alumina Smelters, and hard rock waste from Mines. Nu-Rock will also be involved in processing and repurposing coal washery tailings.
By converting waste into green products to feed growing circular economies, Nu-Rock will proudly play a key role in remediating waste sites and repairing the natural environment for many years to come.
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.
