Objective
The research efforts in waste management undertaken by Le Mans City Council have led to the definition of a recyclable clinker complying with new French recommandations. Le Mans is now able to go beyond the requirements of the European legislation by recycling all its clinkers in road construction produces a material suitable for most of road from raw clinkers. A treatment with asphalt binders provides a consistent structure, improves its environmental characteristics and extends its scope of application.
These characteristics, as well as its ability to replace natural materials, are very promising and should lead to a more sustainable use of our natural resources. Easily adaptable, this process consists in a continuous line for the treatment of clinkers, allowing its total recycling at economic conditions.
For many years, the Urban District of Le Mans has been seeking to manage its household, hospital and special waste more efficiently. The implementation of waste selective collection has enabled to reduce considerably the non-recycled part of waste, which is treated in an incineration plant with heat recuperation. However, the incineration of household waste generates 45,000 tons of clinkers yearly, composed of the non-combustible solid residues. Burying this waste in landfills is a costly and inadequate solution from an ecological point of view.
