Patented Recycling technology for demolition waste
EcoUp WasteX is a patented, end-to-end processing line for recycling waste mineral wool and as well other waste materials such as brick, glass, concrete and blast furnace slag into re-usable raw material.
Instead of landfill, demolition waste is transformed into clean, micron-sized pulver, and can now be used as a binder for geopolymer and low-carbon concrete for instance.
Cleaning
Automated cleaning and separation of metals, wood, plastic and rubble from demolition waste.
Crushing
Crushing of cleaned demolition waste in to mm-sized grains.
Grinding
Grinding of crushed demolition waste into clean, micron-sized pulver.
Ideal Solution for Waste Recyclers
With EcoUp WasteX it is now possible to turn demolition waste into business – at the same time preventing waste from landfills and enabling new revenue streams from re-usable raw material sales. Processing equipment is designed for energy-efficiency and is suitable to be used in typical waste processing facility infrastructure.
Technical specification
- Capacity: 5/10/15 t/h
- Specific energy consumption 30-60 kWh/t
- Space needed 15 m x 35 m
- End product: raw materials replacing cement in concrete
Slag Grinding
WasteX-technology offers a compact system for grinding blast furnace slag. With WasteX-Slag grinder you can use your own industry side streams at concrete manufacturing. WasteX-Slag grinder combines reliable and widely used ball mill technology with innovative patented features, making the process simpler as well as cost- and energy-efficient.
Slag grinder provides economic benefits, as self-produced slag is 30-65% cheaper than purchased cement. It reduces the carbon footprint of concrete production by 25-40%. It also decreases the amount of company’s side streams ending up in landfills.
Unique features
- Integrated classifying zone within the grinding mill = no separate clasifying equipment needed
- Integrated pneumatic feed & drying system = no additional drying of the GBFS needed: lower’s the energy consumption
Technical specification
- Capacity: 5/10/15 t/h
- Specific energy consumption 30-50 kWh/t
- Space needed 15 m x 20 m
- End product: Ground Granulated Blast Furnace (GGBFS)
- Process is dimentioned to be affordable & easy to operate by a middle/large scale concrete producer
Upcycled Yet Carbon Neutral
Replacing virgin materials with recycled content is of course a must already now, but it means that while increasing the recycled content the carbon footprint might actually increase due to the heavy processing that is needed in order to create new raw material from waste. Our process and equipment is designed to minimize the carbon footprint of waste processing.
New Products with Demolition Waste
So what can you use demolition waste e.g. mineral wool for? Concrete products are under regulative restrictions which means that traditional cement has to be used in for example load bearing structures. However, there are a lot of product categories that can utilize mineral wool waste as raw material already today – for example concrete blocks and columns, pavers, exterior and green structures and facade elements to mention a few. We provide both ready-made formulas as well as support for verifying the suitability of mineral wool waste as a raw material for your products. Our innovative hard material, Geoblend®, is similar to concrete without cement.
WasteX technology, Geoblend material and final products made from it, such as Cubeco, form a Closed Loop Solutions.

Frequently asked questions
Our process is suitable for mineral wool (stone and glass wool), brick, glass, concrete, gypsum and blast furnace slag. As we are dealing with waste, our equipment separates also the metals, wood, plastic and rubble from the mineral wool automatically.
1-2 operators – this depends on the level of automation and the desired packing method for your facility.
Depending on the line configuration the capacity of the line is suitable for up to 5/10/15 t/h.
EcoUp WasteX has an automated cleaning and separation for wood, plastic, metals, bricks and concrete.
For example, re-usable raw material can be used to completely or partially replace concrete’s binder, cement. A hard material similar to concrete is produced, with a carbon footprint that is up to 85% lower compared to concrete. A material similar to concrete can be used as various coatings, cast or pressed infrastructure and decoration products or, for example, as a multipurpose Cubeco designed for urban construction.
There are multiple ways to work with us – we can either provide you with the needed data for the waste material which allows you to create and optimize the entire material structure for your own products, or you can take one of our binder mixes into use.
Yes, the materials can be ground again with the help of the line for reuse.
