Based in Maryland, Repurpose Aggregates is an enterprise focused on developing aggregate materials from the innovative reuse and repurposing of leftover or discarded construction, demolition and excavation (CD&E) waste.

Its approach to waste recycling will be the focus of an open house event hosted by wet processing experts CDE on Sept. 22, 2022.

The event will offer a unique look at the operation of the CDE plant designed and engineered for Repurpose Aggregates, providing opportunity to hear from CDE engineers about the economic and environmental benefits of its wet processing solutions.

Scarcity of Raw Materials

A product of Harford Minerals, Repurpose Aggregates is an extension of the company’s mission to create a new sustainability and innovation-focused ecosystem within the aggregates industry.

Understanding the problems facing the construction and development industries, the company felt it imperative to find sustainable solutions to the large increase in CD&E refuse and the growing scarcity of raw materials available.

Repurpose Aggregates was first introduced to CDE at ConExpo in 2020 and was impressed by its technology and how it integrated with its company vision. Following virtual meetings through 2020, the company completed the investment to expand the company’s recycling and reuse operations becoming the first of its kind in Maryland. Solution to Benefit Local Community

The new plant promises to enable a more sustainable future for the local community as well as the company.

Having worked with CDE to tailor the solution to its needs, the plant is optimized to accept CD&E waste from various sources (including mining backfilled materials from the site) and produce a range of recycled sand and aggregate products that can be reintroduced to the local construction industry as sustainable alternatives to virgin quarried materials.

The 250 tph recycling facility consists of an extensive line up of CDE solutions, including the R4500 primary scalping screen, M4500 mobile washing plant, AggMax 253R modular logwasher, Shear Clean Attrition Cells, DS60-6 scrubbing and washing equipment, Counter Flow Classification Unit (CFCU200) density and size classification system and EvoWash sand wash plant.

Repurpose Aggregates also invested in CDE conveyors, an A1500 AquaCycle thickener and Filter Press sludge dewatering system which allows for the recycling of more than 95 percent of process water.

The R-Series technology allows for a constant, even flow of material to be delivered to the integrated screen before being sent for additional screening, washing and sizing. The modular M4500 sand wash
