Abstract

In this discussion “recycling” is used to refer to the beneficial use of a commodity or substance for more than a single cycle of use. Hydraulic-cement concrete, a synthetic sedimentary rock, has been being produced intentionally for beneficial use for over 2000 years. Much of this production has been recycled by entirely similar procedures to those that have been applied for a much longer time in the use of naturally occurring sedimentary and other types of rocks. The classic examples of the recycling of rocks and minerals are the natural mineral, soil. It is unlikely that has not been beneficially used by people for some purpose more than once.
