Ecological Design of New Efficient Energy-Performance Construction Materials with Rigid Polyurethane Foam Waste

An ecological mortar is designed from industrial sub-products, with the objective of utilizing both the slag residues, generated during steel manufacturing processes, and the waste from Polyurethane Foam (PF) panels, generated during refrigerator chamber manufacturing processes. The ecological morta...
