    Recycle waste from incinerators to make bricks, tiles and curbs. It happens in Lomello (Pv) where through particular physical-mechanical treatments, the residues deriving from the waste-to-energy plants are recovered and transformed into a second raw material used in construction called Matrix®.




    To produce it through processes such as screening, crushing and separation of ferrous metals from non-ferrous ones is Officina dell'Ambiente, a company that has transformed this town of Lomellina into a small capital of the green economy for 10 years.

    The only raw material of the Lomello plant, in fact, is made up of waste from urban incinerators which become the Matrix without further mixing with other wastes or additions of chemical reagentsthe. Officina Ambiente therefore proposes itself as a real industrial plant for the enhancement of waste with the aim "of recovering its precious recyclable components and avoiding unsustainable landfilling, as has happened in recent years".

    Also because Matrix then finds a vast field of application in construction starting from ceramics and bricks, as explained by the company: "From the collaboration between Officina dell'Ambiente, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and an important producer in the Sassuolo district, it has been shown that AGMatrix® can be inserted in glazed technical porcelain stoneware bodies in place of feldspar. The production of bricks, on the other hand, uses clay as its main raw materials, inert or slimming and lightening of an organic nature (sawdust, polystyrene, perlite, etc.). When the clay is particularly plastic, it is necessary to add sand aggregates to reduce the water demand of the mixture and reduce shrinkage during the drying and firing phases. During 2007, in collaboration with the Centro Ceramico di Bologna and an important producer in the sector, industrial tests were carried out which allowed to demonstrate how the Sand Matrix® 0-2 mm turns out particularly effective as leaning and limits the use of natural sands.

    The same material is also used in concrete products for blocks, blocks or curbs as an alternative to natural sands and gravels. But it doesn't stop there because the so-called “Matrix family” is used to produce cement, ready-mixed concrete and bituminous conglomerate.



    To illustrate its products for sustainable construction, Officina dell'Ambiente will be at SAIE 2011 in Bologna from 5 to 8 October.
