Representatives of Eco+Logic – Kostiantyn Patsaliuk and Valeriy Kevorkov have visited TU Eindhoven and C2CA in the Netherlands

The C2CA’s equipment has already moved to Ukraine and it will arrive soon!

In Eindhoven, our colleagues were warmly welcomed by Nataliya Lushnikova, a postdoctoral researcher at TU Eindhoven. Nataliya guided them to C2CA, where they saw the technology that C2CA had developed. It upcycles end-of-life concrete into new, high-quality materials using mechanical and thermal processes. This system enables 100% recycling of concrete components, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and eliminating the need for primary raw materials. This technology could play a key role in Ukraine's reconstruction through the Safe, Sustainable, and Swift Reconstruction of Ukraine (S3) project.

At TU Eindhoven, they toured the Research and Innovation Center, where Nataliya shared experience on recycling building materials, including the recycling of wind turbine blades.

A highlight of this trip was seeing the final product at C2CA and bringing a sample back to Ukraine for further research. The preparation of C2CA's equipment for shipment to Ukraine was also observed. Set of equipment will include ADR and HAS. ADR technology is a mechanical system that uses kinetic energy for sorting the input crushed concrete waste (0-16 mm) into three product streams: the coarse aggregates (4-16 mm), the sand (1-4 mm), and the fine product (<1 mm). The HAS technology is designed to further expose the fine fraction aggregates (0-4mm) into a hot gas (~500 °C) to remove the associated moisture, destroy undesirable CDW (construction and demolition waste) contaminants, and activate the recycled cement paste.

This trip, covering over 2,200 kilometers, provided valuable insights into technologies that will be piloted in Ukraine under the S3 project. The C2CA’s equipment has already moved to Ukraine and it will arrive soon!
