00:00A disaster hit building is demolished, but what happens to all that rubble?
00:07At this exhibition in Taipei, construction and recycling firms are showcasing creative ways of bypassing landfills and putting all that material to new use.
00:16The goal is to reduce waste during both demolition and construction of a new building.
00:21When you remove the wood and the wood and the wood, it is about 95% of the weight.
00:27In fact, 95% can be used to be used to make the main construction of the building.
00:35Of course, in the beginning of the season, we need to make the main construction of the building.
00:43Most buildings in Taiwan are made out of concrete.
00:46But as usual, chain of production leaves a massive environmental footprint.
00:50It contaminates rivers, where gravel and sand are freshly mined and processed, and its disposal creates literal tons of waste.
00:58But turning old concrete blocks into raw material reduces production costs.
01:02And the final product is more environmental friendly and even of superior quality.
01:07Now a product to rebuild an old government facility is showing how it's done.
01:12Now, you can see this from our old防疫ä¸å¿ƒ, which has been cleaned off and cleaned off and cleaned off.
01:18Now, we have a part of our construction projects.
01:23In the future, we hope that it can be 100% of our building.
01:29These firms hope that recycled concrete will be adopted in more projects in the future, not only to cut waste, but to boost structural quality.
01:37With a new construction project in the works, these concrete blocks will be given a second life, laying down foundation for more green buildings in the future.
