Introduction
Construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling has become a critical part of sustainable urban development.
An efficient construction waste sorting plant enables the separation of valuable recyclable materials while reducing landfill disposal and overall project costs.
As a professional provider of construction waste sorting solutions, we deliver turnkey C&D waste sorting plants designed to handle complex waste streams from construction, renovation, and demolition activities.
What Is a Construction Waste Sorting Plant?
A construction waste sorting plant is an integrated system designed to process mixed C&D waste and separate it into reusable fractions, including:
-
Aggregates and inert materials
-
Wood, plastics, and light combustible waste
-
Metals (ferrous and non-ferrous)
-
Residual waste for further treatment or disposal
The sorted materials can be reused in construction projects, recycled, or processed for energy recovery.

Typical Construction Waste Sorting Process Flow
1. Waste Reception & Feeding
C&D waste is delivered to the plant and evenly fed into the system. Large debris and bulky items are pre-processed to ensure stable operation.
2. Primary Size Reduction
Oversized construction waste is reduced in size to improve downstream sorting efficiency and protect sorting equipment.
Size reduction is essential for separating light combustible fractions and recyclable materials.
3. Screening & Mechanical Separation
The system may include:
-
Vibrating or trommel screens
-
Air separators for light materials
-
Magnetic and eddy current separators for metal recovery
These steps ensure accurate and efficient material separation.
4. Light Combustible Waste Recovery
Light combustible waste such as wood, plastics, and packaging materials is separated for RDF production or waste-to-energy applications.
5. Recycling & Resource Utilization
Recovered aggregates, metals, and combustible fractions are sent to recycling, reuse, or energy recovery processes.

Construction Waste Sorting Machine Configuration in a Turnkey Plant
A construction waste sorting machine is rarely used as a standalone solution in large-scale C&D recycling projects. In practice, it is configured as part of a complete turnkey construction waste sorting plant that includes feeding, screening, separation, and material recovery systems.
In a turnkey C&D waste sorting solution, sorting machines are selected and combined based on waste composition, capacity requirements, and targeted output materials such as aggregates, metals, and combustible fractions. This integrated configuration ensures stable operation, higher recovery rates, and optimized project economics.
