    Design for Urban Mining – Sustainable Construction Planning

    Homepage Contact Sitemap Webmail Telephone / e-mail Home page > Output - Ausgabe 18/2017 > Design for urban mining – sustainable construction planning Design for urban mining – sustainable construction planning by Prof. Annette Hillebrandt hillebrandt{at}uni-wuppertal.de Global raw material deposits have shifted their location. Many raw materials are no longer at their original source: they are bound up in new, anthropogenic structures, above all buildings. The paradigmatic change affecting the construction industry in the anthropocene – the epoch in which human impact on the earth’s biology, geology and atmosphere has become paramount – entails the separation of construction processes and materials, and high-quality recycling of the latter. Encapsulated in the concept of ‘urban mining’, this involves circular planning and costing over the entire life cycle of a building, including its ecological impact. Conversely, it signifies a departure from linear economic thinking, with its one-way logic of expansion, one-sided view of investment costs, and ultimate landfill disposal scenarios. Future buildings are being planned not for waste, but as interim deposits (‘mines’) of raw materials. In this scenario, suspect materials are entirely excluded, and the industry is committed to a responsible product policy in which the principal stands warranty for the building, the manufacturer for its products and materials, and planners and builders for its construction and future deconstruction – a major reform Prof. Annette Hillebrandt program in line with the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the United Nations as well as federal German sustainability strategy. Published 45 years ago, Donella and Dennis Meadows’ The Limits to Growth1, subtitled a “Report for the Club of Rome’s Project on the Predicament of Mankind,” predicted the dwindling resources and environmental pollution that are today an integral part of the world we live in.

Human activity, in other words, is changing the prerequisites for mineral extraction. For that reason, mining will probably have to adapt accordingly, with more emphasis on exploitation of previously extracted minerals. This study reviews the prevailing concepts for mining the technosphere as well as actual efforts to do so, the objectives for mining, the scale of the initiatives, and what makes them different from other reuse and recycling concepts.

General considerations about urban mining and green solvents are first briefly discussed. Then, the use of green solvents in the recycling processes of technological objects present in urban mines is reviewed, focusing on metal recovery. Keywords : urban mining, green chemistry, metal recovery, wastes Scope After promoting urban mining and defining green solvents, this paper, which is by no means exhaustive, reviews academic works. It is sorted by object types, chosen as iconic examples to highlight achievements and unresolved questions, because totally green processes are hardly found at the present stage.

This paper analyzes the contribution of waste pickers in the city of Cuenca in Ecuador and the conditions of their activity. This research has a two-fold objective. First, it calculates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the substitution of virgin raw material in the production process by using recycled urban waste. The second objective is to conduct a socioeconomic analysis of the workers involved in the urban waste sector. Cuenca (Ecuador) is the main city used for this case study, thanks to the accessibility of a rich database built from the survey conducted by the NGO Alliance for Development. The information contained in this survey facilitates the identification of potential consumers of the waste industry. This study uses Clean Development Mechanism methodology. Finally, this work proposes a theoretical model for solid waste management, applied to the city, following the principles of the circular economy.

    Urban Mining As a Sustainable Strategy for the Management of Residual Solid Waste

    15th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology Rhodes, Greece, 31 August to 2 September 2017 Urban mining as a sustainable strategy for the management of residual solid waste V. Belgiorno, A. Cesaro SEED - Department of Civil Engineering, University of Salerno, via Giovanni Paolo II – Fisciano (SA), Italy. Corresponding author e-mail address: [email protected] Keywords: recovery, resource, solid waste The production of waste represents a pressing issue and its sustainable management is being regarded as one of the greatest challenges of this century. Over the years waste handling strategies have moved from landfilling, often performed under uncontrolled conditions, to recycling processes, in order to reduce the environmental footprint of residue disposal. Although more recently the need to prevent waste production has been pointed out, the relation between consumption patterns and waste production limits the reduction of both amount and hazardousness of waste. This issue is even more serious as it comes along with the depletion of resources aiming at the production of those goods destined to become waste. The level of waste generation is indeed directly related to economic development, rate of industrialization, and public practices (Fazeli et al., 2016). Therefore the decoupling of prosperity from resource consumption (Sauvè et al., 2016) has been identified as a suitable strategy to promote the decrease of both resource consumption and waste generation, addressing a circular economy approach over the traditional linear one (Preston, 2012; Bonciu, 2014; Ghisellini et al., 2016). In a circular economy, the production of goods is preferably pursued by either the use of by-products or waste recycling rather than by virgin resource consumption, so as to close the loop of material streams (Geng and Doberstein, 2008; Souza, 2013).
