Porcelain Tile Aggregate Concrete
Experimental research investigating the use of porcelain tile waste as partial replacement of conventional coarse aggregate in concrete.
View ResearchCircular Build Africa develops and supports practical engineering research focused on transforming waste, improving resource efficiency, strengthening sustainable infrastructure and advancing environmental solutions across Africa.
At Circular Build Africa, research is at the centre of our approach to sustainable engineering.
We explore how waste materials, locally available resources and engineering innovation can be used to address real environmental and infrastructure challenges.
Our research connects laboratory investigation, engineering practice and community needs to develop solutions that can contribute to a more circular African economy.
From material testing to sustainable construction technologies, our research seeks practical solutions with real-world potential.
Our research activities focus on areas where engineering can create measurable environmental and community impact.
Research into recycled and alternative materials that can reduce dependence on conventional construction resources.
01Investigating how waste streams can be converted into valuable resources for construction and infrastructure.
02Research into affordable water treatment, filtration and environmental technologies suitable for African communities.
03Applying circular economy principles to engineering design, materials, construction and resource management.
04Explore selected research projects developed around sustainable materials, environmental engineering and circular construction.
