Recycling of wastes from ornamental calcareous stone industry on agriculture and other industrial sectors

Objective

Extraction and conventional processes for cutting and machining natural calcareous stones generate by-products, which are, usually, rejected, and non-recycled. Therefore, the consequences are both the environmental problem caused by the accumulation of this waste and the fact that no use is made of a by-product that might have a wide range of applications mainly in agriculture usage (soil rehabilitation, fertilisers,) and in other industrial sectors. The proposer SMEs are very interested in this project whose main objectives are
i) to evaluate the environmental impact of by-products generated in the cutting/machining processes and to reduce the amount of waste generated by optimising the process itself and,
ii) to recycle these by-products reusing it as a raw material (unmodified or treated) for agriculture usage, and for other industries. Currently, there are not viable solutions to the problem and a systematic research has not been done in this matter. This problem has a clear European dimension because it involves to different countries and the total volume of
