Sustainable Teaching and Innovation for Zero Waste

Abstract:

The contribution focuses on teaching and innovation for Sustainable development. Teaching the theory on the basis of the practical experiences envisages sustainable development planning as a process of continuous improvement. The article shows an optimization of recycling of concrete from lightweight aggregates containing expanded glass and hard rubber. The purpose of this work was to produce the new combination using rest, construction waste of concrete from lightweight aggregates and hard rubber and new raw components of concrete from lightweight aggregates, as key reactive material.
