Background

Reclinker is a British company developing a way to recycle cement recovered from demolished concrete. Its process makes clinker, the ingredient used to produce cement, inside electric arc furnaces used in steelmaking. The approach connects cement recycling with existing industrial equipment, rather than treating waste concrete only as material for lower-value uses. [Reclinker](https://Reclinker.com/)

The company’s manufacturing work includes production in Cardiff. Its technology is intended to return recovered cement to the construction supply chain and reduce demand for new raw materials. The defining part of the business is this conversion of recovered cement into clinker; its product is a cement ingredient, rather than a demolition or waste-collection service.
