Linijinė ekonomika arba vienkartinis betono panaudojimas statybose lemia išteklių trūkumą ir daugiau atliekų susidaro kiekviename betono komponentų gamybos bei transportavimo etape. Tuo tarpu naudojant žiedinę ekonomiką gauname tvarius sprendinius. Naršykite „Sika Sustainability Circle“ ir sužinokite, kaip „Sika“ sprendžia žiediškumą bei tvarumą betono gyvavimo cikle.
Kas yra žiedinė ekonomika?
Taikant linijinės ekonomikos modelį, medžiaga turi naują paskirtį ir jos nebegalima grąžinti į pradinę paskirtį naujoje betono gamyboje.
Tačiau perdirbimo ekonomikoje senas betonas gali būti perdirbamas ir pakartotinai naudojamas naujo betono gamyboje. Tai jau daroma betono gamybos pramonėje.
Galiausiai siekiame žiedinės ekonomikos, kai betono gamybos ir perdirbimo procese nelieka jokių atliekų.
Žiedinės ekonomikos pranašumai
Perėjimas prie žiedinės ekonomikos betono konstrukcijų srityje suteikia keletą privalumų:
Mažiau betono atliekų sąvartynuose
Naudojama mažiau žaliavų
Mažesnis išmetamo CO2 kiekis
Mažesnis energijos suvartojimas
Sprendimai visai betono vertės grandinei
Mūsų įsipareigojimas siekti tvarumo (SBTI) ir daugiau nei 100 metų patirtis kuriant produktus ir sprendinius susijusius su betono tvarumu, daro „Sika“ tinkamu partneriu jūsų žiedinei ekonomikai.
Naudodamiesi „Sika Sustainability Circle“ sujungiame žiedinę ekonomiką su betono vertės grandine ir siūlome sprendimus.

Returned Concrete
Fresh concrete which is sent back in the truck mixer to the concrete batching plant.
Either the concrete does not meet the order specifications in terms of quality when it arrives at the construction site (e.g. because of loss of workability due to an unscheduled extension of the transport time), or because an incorrect order was placed.
This also includes quantities of concrete that were ordered in excess.
It is assumed that globally up to 4% of the concrete will be returned.

Washing Water
Washing water from batching plant, truck mixers and concrete pumps needs to be treated as wastewater, since it has a very high pH and contains cement and aggregates particles.

Maintain
During the service life, concrete structures can lose aesthetic or geometric appearance, or even decrease their structural integrity and therefore, their durability. With an appropriate maintenance program including repairing, protecting or even strengthening, they can maintain and/or extend their service life.
Protect
Reinforced concrete structures are built to serve many generations to come. However, concrete faces many threats of natural deterioration, damages and reinforcement corrosion. Depending on their location and use, concrete structures are subjected to a wide range of exposure conditions, such as:
- normal atmospheric carbonation
- aggressive influences in polluted urban and industrial environments
- marine atmosphere and liquid or gaseous chemicals
- influencers that can damage or attack the concrete and embedded steel reinforcement
Reuse
Future concrete structures will be more modular and durable to increase the reusability of individual concrete components. This will allow a longer lifetime of the concrete and thus less waste.

Sika® Ferrogard®
Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures are a preventive means of protecting steel reinforcement from corrosion and thus extending the service life of concrete structures.
By placing a cathodic protection system into the concrete, it is possible to reverse the corrosion current that naturally occurs in the concrete. This sacrificial metal (anode) inserted into the concrete will ensure that the steel rebar stays passivated inside the concrete, extending its durability and service life.
