Abstract:
Algeria has been committed since the 2000s to significantly improving its environmental
management, particularly by strengthening its infrastructure for waste collection, sorting, and
treatment. Despite these efforts, there are persistent shortcomings that require enhanced
resources to ensure a successful environmental transition.
A new innovative method for waste treatment has emerged as an alternative to traditional
polluting methods such as landfilling and incineration. This method transforms waste like
plaster, plastics, and wood into mineral paste, thereby sequestering CO2 rather than releasing
it into the atmosphere. The mineral aggregates produced can be reused in construction,
promoting circular economy practices and reducing the environmental footprint of waste
management and construction activities.
This approach not only addresses current ecological challenges but also opens new
perspectives for sustainable resource valorization in Algeria
