Abstract
The current state of waste production and management in Slovakia. Legislative regulations. Analysis of applying recycled waste products in the construction of sustainable buildings as a substitution of non-renewable materials. The comparison of the physical parameters of recycled materials with non-renewable materials in terms of thermal and fire protection. The construction solution of lightweight building envelopes with a timber supporting system using the thermal insulation and facing made of recycled materials. The model solution of a wood-based family house using recycled waste materials. The comparison of the environmental burden of a standard lightweight sandwich peripheral wall with a recycled waste wall.
Highlights
Due to the high consumption rate, there is an increasing production of municipal and construction waste in our society
The considerable amount of municipal and construction waste is produced in the construction, operation, and demolition of buildings
It is needful to look for the possibilities of waste reprocessing and reusing as building materials
Summary
Due to the high consumption rate, there is an increasing production of municipal and construction waste in our society. As for sustainable construction, the ecological optimization of building materials and products is especially important because the environmental burden relating to the building sector should be as low as possible, ideally within category A. This can be achieved by using recycled materials. The ordinary consumption of every human being produces a large proportion of municipal waste connected with the daily consumption of food - paper-based packaging or Tetra Pak beverage cartons Another source of paper waste is printed matter, i.e. advertising leaflets, newspapers, magazines, and various other documents. The recycled wood waste products can be used as part of thermo-insulating or facing panels in construction of lightweight sandwich building envelopes
