FibFreeCem

Project

At present, asbestos-free fiber-cement sheets are sent for conventional asbestos-cement recycling. The proposed solution involves upstream separation of the asbestos-free waste stream, its collection and recycling in the construction sector.

    About

    The aim of this project is to improve the recycling of asbestos-free fiber-cement sheets by separating them from asbestos-cement sheets during collection.

    At present, non-asbestos fiber-cement sheets/plates are directed towards the asbestos sector, i.e. placed in class 2 landfill sites as they are indistinguishable from asbestos materials once crushed/scraped by a conventional recycling process.

    Thanks to the FIBFREECEM project, asbestos-free sheets can be recycled in the construction sector and become an integral part of the circular economy targeted by the Circular Wallonia strategy.
