The invention relates to the obtaining of a NEW ECO-INNOVATIVE, SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE, based on cement and recycled waste in the form of artificial glass aggregate and PET flakes (polyethylene terephthalate), as raw material, which successfully replace the non-renewable  natural  aggregates  (waste  involving  high  storage  and  storage  costs).  The  ECO-INNOVATIVE  CONCRETE  was  made within the research-development-innovation project – “CHECKS OF INNOVATION” 266 CI / 2018 in order to develop the smes, where the  beneficiary  company,  NEW  NCR  RECICLARE  S.R.L.  becomes  the  final  recycler.  the  beneficiary  of  the  research  having  the  main activity  object:  collection,  recovery  of  the  waste  and  concrete  products  manufacturing,  obtained  the  Technical  Approval NO. 001SC-02/635-2019 for alveolar concrete blocks for the purpose of commercialization.
