About

The project focuses on recycling paper mill sludge (a byproduct of paper production) to create construction materials or other valuable products. This solution aims to reduce waste volumes, enhance production sustainability, and offer cost-effective alternatives to traditional materials.

Goals and Objectives:

  • Goals:

    • Decrease waste generated by paper production.

    • Develop new eco-friendly materials using sludge.

    • Promote sustainable development in the construction and other sectors.

  • Objectives:

    1. Study the properties of sludge and its potential applications.

    2. Develop technologies to produce materials from this byproduct.

    3. Launch pilot production to evaluate efficiency.

Implementation Stages:

  1. Conduct research on the properties of sludge.

  2. Develop processing methods and create prototypes.

  3. Implement pilot production.

  4. Assess efficiency and environmental impact.

Expected Results:

  • Environmental benefits through waste reduction.

  • Creation of new construction materials or products for other sectors.

  • Increased environmental awareness among production companies.

  • Reduced use of natural resources thanks to alternative materials.
