Accelerated Insulation Recycling System (AIRS)

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Construction and demolition waste accounts for 52% of the total land-filled space (EPA, 2009). While many advances in disassembly sequencing in buildings have been proposed to recycle concrete, steel and tile associated with construction and demolition waste, the insulation contained within every building persists as a significant environmental challenge to recycle and reuse. The technical challenge addressed by this project is the curtailment of demolition waste associated with disposal of current insulation technologies.
