@masterthesis{Hermannsdoerfer, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Hermannsd{\"o}rfer, Frederic}, title = {Mechanical Preparation of External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems}, school = {Hochschule Rhein-Waal}, abstract = {The building industry relies heavily on energy conservation, energy efficiency, and resource efficiency. Thermal insulation composite systems (TICS) have been used to insulate building facades since the 1970s, resulting in significant energy savings. Additionally, as a result of EnEV 2002 implementation, energy consumption for building facades has gradually increased. The initial systems have reached the end of their useful life due to the durability of these composites, and an increasing amount of TICS waste has been generated in recent years. TICS are currently processed solely in waste incineration plants; no other method of recycling these devices exists. Due to technical constraints and the high calorific value of TICS, thermal disposal alone is not feasible. Additionally, because TICS systems are comprised of numerous components, significant resources will be wasted if they are not recycled properly. This study examines actual TICS waste that is technologically processed in order to recycle it based on its composition.}, language = {de} }
