A new material applied to additive manufacturing technology through the revaluation of marble quarry waste with low environmental impact

Currently, in some marble quarries, the amount of waste amounts to 80%. The ReValoMur research project aimed to generate the necessary knowledge for the production of a new cementitious material, based on plastic waste from agriculture and waste derived from the extraction and/or transformation of natural stone, as a means of valorization of these industrial sectors in the Region of Murcia, in order to develop an optimal material of a more ecological scale within the productive range, focused on additive manufacturing as a potential technology for the rationalization and reuse of waste, that is, underused resources.
