Urban mining – collecting minerals and aggregates from building sites after demolition and reclaiming them for industrial usage. Enter smart containers and a circular economy, goodbye to illegal dumping and overstocked landfills. Israeli company GREENMIX builds recycling parks for urban mining of construction and demolition waste. They process the materials and produce green concrete, sand, and gravel used for roads, rail, and even underfloor fillers. GREENMIX operates two concrete plants, and the green concrete produced is based on 100% recycled raw material and cement. It has the “green label” issued by the Standards Institute of Israel.
