CHI Environmental recycle construction and demolition waste in Kilkenny, who have identified a niche area through the use of recycled construction material as new products. The key point to the product is the re-use of recycled aggregates, which are segregated & crushed on site at CHI. The benefits of the products include the reuse of waste materials, replacement of quarried aggregate, cost savings on transport & quarrying.
CHI are seeking support in creating a strategy for new value added products utilising recycled aggregate materials. The recycled aggregate products would require certification for specific applications (e.g. load bearing, construction, etc.). Specific consideration is also necessary for certifications & regulations around areas such as product sizes & lifting. The aim was to develop a strategy for a new product with clear rationale and consideration into which product, when and why.
A series of design strategy workshops was conducted to consider all opportunities for new value add product potential and bring those new ideas through a series of evaluation to assist in decision making and development routes. This provides a clear rationale and strategy for the business before investing in further development. The outcome is a strategic roadmap which outlines steps to implementation of the newly identified product development strategy.
