Recycling Syria’s Rubble

Nour Madi from the American University of Beirut (AUB, Leb- anon) took second prize. Her project is a GIS-based frame- work for recycling construction materials in Syria. The scope includes both war rubble and ordinary construction waste of the nation’s seven largest cities. The project optimizes the loca- tions of recycling facilities as well as their capacity and size. Costs of the recycling processes and transport routes are also considered. Based on her anal- ysis, Nour Madi proposes six locations for the recycling plants.
