Debris from Destruction will Become Concrete for Reconstruction: Revolutionary Technology

Laboratory research has shown that debris from destroyed buildings can be used to produce concrete mixtures. This information was released by the coalition of NGOs Ukraine Support Team.

The strength and plasticity of the obtained material exceeded project expectations by 30%, making it suitable for the reconstruction of Ukraine

According to testing results, up to half of the natural filler in concrete can be replaced with recycling materials, while maintaining the properties of the mixture. This is stated by Ukraine Support Team.

The Waste Problem and Its Solution

According to data as of March 2025, over 231 thousand residential buildings had been destroyed in Ukraine.

This has posed a serious environmental and social challenge for communities

The use of recycling materials will help turn the waste problem into an opportunity for recovery, said Olena Koltyk, head of Ukraine Support Team.

In Kharkiv and Mykolaiv, there are considerations for using waste recycling technologies into building materials, which could help recreate Ukrainian cities.

We are analyzing in what types of building products these materials can be used to provide economic benefit and reduce environmental impact

It is worth recalling that Russia has violated the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles 23 times, using 9M729. This was stated by Oleksandr Sorochyk, the first secretary of Ukraine's permanent mission to international organizations in Vienna.

Ukrainian organizations are exploring the possibilities of using debris from destroyed buildings to produce concrete mixtures with high strength and plasticity, which will allow their use for the reconstruction of the country and reducing the negative impact on the environment.
