By recycling waste, we limit the extraction of primary raw materials and strive for an economy that runs entirely on reusable raw materials and in which waste no longer exists. Reusing demolition waste in new projects is an important part of this endeavor. Technology and innovations help us recycle more efficiently and effectively. What kind of technology and innovation are we using to make this happen?

• Robotics: Robots can be used to sort waste based on different materials, such as plastic, glass, metal and paper. This can speed up the sorting process and reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
• Artificial intelligence: Artificial intelligence can be used to improve the recycling process by analyzing waste materials and identifying which materials are suitable for recycling. This can lead to greater efficiency and less waste.
• Chemical recycling: Chemical recycling is a relatively new method in which waste material is broken down to its original chemical components, which can then be used to make new products. This can improve the recycling process and reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
• 3D printing: 3D printing can be used to turn waste materials into new products. This can reduce the need for new raw materials and reduce waste.
• Bioplastics: Bioplastics are plastics made from biodegradable materials. This can help reduce the problem of plastic waste and provide a sustainable solution to plastic use.

New technologies and innovations are helping us move forward. By working toward a more circular economy and reducing waste, we can protect our planet and ensure a more sustainable future for all.
