"Calcestruzzo armato" and "calcestruzzo precompresso" definitely refer to hardened concrete. And old concrete from demolitions is often crushed and used as aggregate in new concrete (=recycled).
James (Jim) Davis Feb 12, 2012:
Here they talk about calcestruzzo "indurito conferit and frantoio" per il recupero. The first three items on this Google definitely talk about "recupero del calcestruzzo". Probably laws written by bureaucrats who know nothing of concrete.

no there is no such thing as recycled concrete - not when the word "calcestruzzo" is used to describe it. "Calcestruzzo" only refers to concrete before it has set.
James (Jim) Davis Feb 12, 2012:
@asptech Could be ready mix or recycled concrete in my opinion.
asptech Feb 12, 2012:
Recycled concrete?
James (Jim) Davis Feb 11, 2012:
More context please I believe either of the two answers might be right in different contexts. The instructions are there for a very good reason, to help us to help you.

leftover concrete

Se si riferisce al calcestruzzo che avanza alla fine di un progetto. Si usa anche "returned concrete".

reject concrete

Così, senza contesto, questa potrebbe essere un'opzione.

If you had researched further instead of being "one dimensional" and examined the human side of the equation, you would have discovered that most of those "high flats" had been constructed with reject concrete, which ultimately caused molds and fungus to appear on the walls of people's homes.

Reject concrete volumes were extremely low, with less than 0.5 per cent (1,412 cubic metres) returned to the batching plant for recycling.
