Fives' FCB Rhodax® 4D Technology revolutionizes Circular Economy
Fives is committed to supporting the circular economy and providing sustainable solutions for the building materials industry. The FCB Rhodax® selective crushing and grinding technology, associated to the FCB TSV™ Classifier, offers a complete solution for recycling concrete waste and reducing CO2 emissions from cement and concrete production.
Providing sustainable solutions for the cement industry
The world is facing a growing environmental crisis. Reducing our environmental footprint has become more critical than ever before. The cement industry is one of the most resource-intensive industries. According to the GCCA, the industry accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions.
At Fives, we are committed to supporting the circular economy and providing sustainable solutions for the cement industry.
FCB Rhodax®
100% recyclable resource in concrete waste
The FCB Rhodax® selective crushing and grinding technology, associated with the FCB TSV™ Classifier, is a complete solution for recycling concrete waste. Thanks to this technology, concrete waste becomes a 100% recyclable resource. This technology has long been recognized for its efficiency in the minerals and aggregates industries. It's also perfect for concrete recycling.
Recycling companies can benefit from our FCB Rhodax® technology. To name a few:
- Aggregates producers,
- Cement producers,
- Ready-mix producers,
- Etc.
The technology allows them to process concrete wastes from the deconstruction industry. It also enables the recovery of concrete components (gravels, sand and cement paste) to make new cement and concrete. This full process contributes to a more circular economy.

Preserving natural resources
Thanks to its high efficiency, the FCB Rhodax® produces high-quality recycled gravels, meeting the construction industry requirements. By recovering gravels and sand from concrete waste, we reduce the need for natural resources. Such resources are becoming increasingly scarce: their extraction is energy consuming and emits CO2.
Furthermore, the fine fraction can be reused within the cement process, either to make low-carbon clinker (as the material has already been decarbonated) or as an additive for cement and concrete.
At last, the sand and cement paste can be used to catch the CO2 captured from the clinker production, thus reducing the global CO2 emissions of cement plants.
By recycling concrete, we can contribute to a more circular economy and decarbonized industry. That is essential for:
- Reducing our environmental impact
- Reducing wastes
- Preserving natural resources
- Reducing CO2 emissions.
