Processing ceramics from
wastes: A new raw material
source for a global change
Scope
Each year 2.7 billion tonnes of waste are
thrown away in the European Union but, on
average, only 40% of solid waste is re-used or
recycled, the rest going to landfill or incinera-
tion. In this situation, various waste manage-
ment strategies consider valuation as a green
and sustainable philosophy that involves the
reduction of waste through reuse as raw mate-
rial for new products. Recycling can eliminate
a substantial portion of both purchasing raw
materials and disposal costs of products after
their life cycle completed.
In particular the construction sector is one of
the principal actors in the overconsumption
of resources and therefore, there is a large
potential and environmental incentive to redu-
ce material and energy consumption through
resource-efficient construction. To succeed in
stopping the impact the construction sector
produces on the environment, there is the need
to develop new technological tools. Among
them, turning waste into new materials may
have a significant saving regarding its embo-
died impact over primary raw materials and
thus, recycling different waste into building
products is worldwide being studied.
The aims of the Workshop are to review, to
analyze and to discuss research activities
regarding the recycling of waste for materials
production, improving how to understand, to
manage and to value waste and encouraging
new initiatives towards resource efficiency and
added value. The Workshop will promote smart
specialization and cooperation within the Euro-
pean research area and the rest of the world.
Format of the Workshop
The workshop will bring together 18
speakers and a maximum of 50 participants
(including speakers). The scientific
programme will start in the morning on
Monday, September 29th , and will end on
Wednesday; October 1st . Ample time for
informal discussion will be reserved.
Participants will be invited to present a
poster.
Venue of the Workshop
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the
“Campus Antonio Machado”, a XVII century
building turned into a Conference Centre
of the International University of Andalusia
(UNIA). This site includes a recently restored
residence, where speakers and participants
will be accommodated. Baeza is a World
Historic Heritage town, renowned for its
Reinassance and Gothic buildings.
