Construction industry produces large amount of construction and demolition waste throughout the year. Most of the time construction and demolition waste ends up in landfills disturbing environmental, economical and social life cycle. Construction and demolition waste is the waste materials that are produced in the process of construction, renovation or demolition of residential or non-residential structures.

Disposal of these huge amount of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in sustainable manner is the biggest challenge today. Recycling and reuse of such a large waste is need of an hour. The debris and rubble can be crushed and recycled into new reusable materials. Construction and demolition waste comprises economically valuable materials including reusable aggregates, sand and gravel.

Construction and demolition waste recycling offers numerous benefits that have a positive impact on the environment, economy, and society as a whole. Maximizing the ability to recycle and reuse C&D waste will result in a decreased volume of waste going into landfills, hence prolonging the life of landfill sites for future use. Increasing the use of recycled material will consequently reduce the transportation requirements of this waste from the construction site to landfill, therefore decreasing the overall CO2 emission contribution. Recycling also reduces the need of newly mined raw material thus preserves the natural resources benefiting the environment. In short, recycling and reuse of C&D waste helps preserve natural resources, reduces waste, conserves energy, supports the economy, promotes sustainability, and enhances public health and safety. Embracing recycling practices in the construction industry is crucial for a more sustainable and resilient future.

Materials recycled in the demolition process can be reused in road works, pipelines, creation of new homes, yards and industrial buildings. Recycled concrete and rubble are excellent alternatives for bases of roads and sports fields, sound barriers and parking lots. Better load-bearing capabilities have been measured with thinner layer thickness when crushed concrete has been used. Another good application for recycled material is the use of crushed concrete as riprap dust and erosion control.

Recycling material is more profitable and sustainable if the construction and demolition waste is processed at the site. The traditional methods of dealing with construction wastes can be ineffective or costly and unsustainable. Trucking the waste away to recycling facility can be expensive as well as environmentally unfriendly. Bringing in a mobile crusher at project site can be expensive and require a considerable volume of waste to be cost-effective.

Hydraulically powered bucket crushers can be viable and cost-effective option that allows contractors to recycle construction and demolition waste on-site. A bucket crusher or crusher bucket is an attachment that allows heavy machinery, generally excavator, to crush and recycle concrete and other construction debris on-site. These buckets are specially designed to crush and recycle materials such as concrete, asphalt, rock, and brick into smaller, more manageable pieces, making them perfect for construction and demolition sites. It has the design of a shovel, which is open at the rear for releasing the shredded material.

Compared to a crushing plant, the bucket crusher has a lower production, but can be transported more easily and only needs an excavator to operate. Bucket crusher is a more affordable investment and can solve a number of material handling needs. Also, the operating cost is only a fraction of that of bigger plants as the contractor needs only one excavator, one bucket and one operator. On the contrary a crusher plant may need an excavator to feed it and a loading shovel to remove material coming out of the crusher on the product conveyor to stockpile it elsewhere. Further, the crusher buckets are easy to use and maintain. They require minimal maintenance, and their simple design ensures that they are easy to operate.

Crusher buckets have a wide range of applications, making them an indispensable tool at any construction or demolition site. They are ideal for construction and demolition sites and can be used in a wide range of applications, including general building demolition, industrial and urban renewal projects, and material processing and recycling. They are available in a range of sizes and are compatible with a variety of machinery, including mini excavators, skid steers, backhoes, and larger excavators. Crusher buckets can be used to crush a wide range of materials, including rocks, concrete, asphalt, bricks, tiles, glass, building rubble, masonry, and reinforced concrete.

The use of crusher buckets for recycling construction debris is an innovative and sustainable method of demolition and reconstruction. Recycling the debris reduces the waste to landfill and using the recycled materials preserves the natural resources. Crushed and recycled materials are often cheaper and more sustainable than newly mined materials, which can save companies money while also benefiting the environment.

The key benefit of crusher bucket is that it can be used on-site, which means that materials don't need to be transported, cutting down on transportation costs and reducing emissions associated with transport. In addition, it allows for more efficient demolition and construction, which can save time and reduce costs. Even if the material needs to be transported for recycling facility, crushing reduces the volume and helps to save transportation costs. Crushing bucket is also affordable investment to recycling centres to process their material piles and turning those into valuable product.
