Application of Jaw Crushers in Construction Waste Recycling
June 21st 2025
With rapid urban development and infrastructure renewal, construction and demolition (C&D) waste is becoming a pressing environmental issue. Materials such as concrete, bricks, and asphalt, if not properly handled, can overburden landfills and pose ecological risks. One of the most effective solutions is the use of jaw crushers in recycling construction waste into reusable aggregates.
What Is a Jaw Crusher?
A jaw crusher is a primary crushing machine that breaks down large pieces of hard materials—such as rocks or concrete—using compressive force. The material is fed into a V-shaped chamber, where a movable jaw compresses it against a fixed jaw until it breaks into smaller pieces. Jaw crushers are widely used in mining, quarrying, and now increasingly in construction waste management.

Why Use Jaw Crushers for Construction Waste?
✅ Efficient Crushing of Hard Debris Jaw crushers are ideal for processing tough materials like reinforced concrete, bricks, and mortar.
✅ Primary Stage Reduction They serve as the first stage of crushing, reducing large chunks into manageable sizes for further processing.
✅ Mobile and Stationary Options Available in both stationary and mobile models, they can be installed on recycling plants or mounted on mobile units at demolition sites.
✅ Cost-Effective and Durable Simple design with robust parts ensures low maintenance costs and high reliability.
Common Materials Processed
Concrete with rebar
Clay bricks and hollow blocks
Asphalt chunks
Stone and rubble from demolitions
Mixed construction debris
Example: Jaw Crusher in Urban Demolition Projects
In many modern cities, mobile jaw crushers are deployed directly at demolition sites. For example, a construction firm in Jakarta, Indonesia, used a PE600×900 jaw crusher to process concrete and masonry waste from a large-scale building teardown. The output—recycled aggregate sized 0–40mm—was reused for road sub-base and backfill, reducing transportation and raw material costs by 40%.
