Rohrdorfer focuses increasingly on building materials recycling with the foundation of RSK Umwelttechnik GmbH
Sustainability, resource conservation and CO2 reduction are becoming increasingly important in the building materials industry. In particular, the use of secondary raw materials and the processing of construction waste is becoming increasingly important. In order to take this development into account, the Rohrdorfer group has founded RSK Umwelttechnik GmbH with effect from January 19, 2023. Managing Director of the company, which is based in Rohrdorf, Bavaria, is Michael Weiß. The second managing director is Harald Schilly, head of the sand and gravel division at Rohrdorfer.
The Rohrdorfer Group already works intensively with construction materials recycling in the cement and sand and gravel extraction divisions and has operated an Umwelttechnik GmbH AT in Austria for many years. This company has been very successful in processing mineral waste from building construction and civil engineering for use in concrete and road construction and recycling previously unusable construction waste. Michael Weiß is now to transfer the successful model to the German Rohrdorf headquarters and create and exploit synergies between the five Rohrdorf divisions of cement, ready-mix concrete, precast elements, sand and gravel, and concrete products.
As a trained concrete technologist, Michael Weiß has many years of practical experience as a building materials tester and deputy test center manager. Most recently, he was managing director of Ettengruber GmbH Recycling und Verwertung. “Due to the already existing structures and competences in the cement, concrete and raw materials sector, RSK Umwelttechnik GmbH has the optimal network to deal intensively with a central future topic of the construction industry,” says Harald Schilly. “We are pleased to have gained Michael Weiß, an experienced specialist in this field.”
The first activities scheduled for RSK Umwelttechnik GmbH in 2023 will be the site assessment for processing plants, the provision of recycled aggregates for the ready-mix concrete division, and the processing of secondary raw materials for the Rohrdorf cement plant.
