Shellfish industrial waste reuse

The SWAN platform is an integrated suite of online resources and tools for assessing industrial symbiotic opportunities based on solid industrial waste reuse. It has been developed as a digital solid waste reuse platform and is already applied in four countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and Cyprus). The SWAN platform integrates a database with the spatial and technical characteristics of industrial solid waste producers and potential consumers, populated with data from these countries. It also incorporates an inventory of commercially implemented best practices on solid industrial waste reuse. The role of the SWAN platform is to facilitate the development of novel business cases. Towards this end, decision support services, based on a suitable matching algorithm, are provided to the registered users, helping them to identify and assess potential novel business models, based on solid waste reuse, either for an individual industrial unit (source/potential receiver of solid waste) or a specific region.

Waste Reuse

Antecedentes: El sector de la construcción es uno de los sectores económicos en Colombia con mayor crecimiento, generando grandes cantidades de residuos como producto del proceso de construcción, y/o demolición, o en su defecto en la fabricación de los materiales de construcción. Objetivo: facilitar el acceso a información académicocientífica actualizada sobre reciclaje de residuos industriales y su aplicación en la fabricación de materiales de construcción. Así mismo se emplea el término de economía circular, el cual hace referencia a la integración de las actividades de reducción (consumo de energía y residuos), reutilización y recuperación durante la producción, el intercambio y consumo. Conclusión: además de reducir la contaminación generada por los residuos de los sectores productivos, con el aprovechamiento de los subproductos ha sido posible mejorar ciertas propiedades tecnológicas de estos materiales de construcción.Palabras Clave: economía circular, materiales de construcción, nutriente tecnológico, reciclaje, residuos industriales.AbstractBackground: The construction sector is one of the economic sectors with the highest growth in Colombia, generating large amounts of waste as a result of the construction process, and / or demolition, or otherwise in the building material manufacturing. Objective: to facilitate the access to updated academic-scientific information on recycling of industrial waste and its application for the building material manufacturing. Moreover, the concept of circular economy is used, which refers to the integration of the reduction activities (energy consumption and waste),reuse and recycling during the production, exchange and consumption. Conclusion: in addition to the reduction of the pollution generated by waste from the productive sectors, certain technological properties of these building materials have been improved through the use of waste. Keywords: circular economy, building materials, technological nutrient, recycling, industrial waste.
