Identification of the possibility to reuse the ceramics glazed tile waste as a eco friendly raw material for the manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka

Abstract

According to industrial waste can be affected by the environment and human. Reason of that lots of companies concern about their benefits, Because of them not concern about environmental damage and life cycle of goods. Subsequently, ongoing years have seen rising social worry about the issue of waste administration by and large, and modern waste and waste from the development business specifically. This research is mainly considered to give the solution for ceramic glazed tile waste in Sri Lanka. Royal Ceramic Lanka PLC (RCLPLC), Lanka Tiles PLC (LTPLC) and Mack tiles Lanka, used as a case studies to find the data. The objective of this investigation is to study and analyzing these three ceramic tile factory waste (squaring dust and polishing dust) properties and discussing how to re-use the ceramic glazed tile waste as a raw material for the production industry in Sri Lanka. This study is analyzed in the three factors mentioned above manufacturing process, Properties of tile, Source of tile waste, Current Methods of tile waste recycle and ingredients of tile waste. Similarly, laboratory testing of waste effluent samples from the factory will identify the components involved. That waste can be used to produce sanitary ware or tableware, bricks manufacturing, water purification, and different type of concrete unit, it can be a long duration and high strength. The amount of silica present in the chemical constituents is relatively high and can be used to increase bond strength. Not only that but also it does not have any heavy metals so it’s harmful to plants and animals, it can be used for conservation such as coral and algae.
