Jochen Kamm brings extensive industry knowledge and a broad technical background. His professional career began in the development of drive systems at renowned manufacturers in Germany and the USA, before he specialized in optimizing shredding technology. In his further roles, he was responsible for existing recycling plants, standardized the technologies in use, and designed new recycling towers as well as processing lines for both material recovery and thermal use in power plants. During this period, Jochen also gained comprehensive insights into the quality, performance, and diverse applications of ARJES shredding technology. This combination of technical expertise, process knowledge, and hands-on experience forms the foundation for his new role at ARJES GmbH.

Responsibilities at ARJES

As the new Business Development and Global Sales Manager, Jochen Kamm not only assumes sales responsibility but, more importantly, takes on the task of driving ARJES’ international market development.

His tasks include:

• Strategic development of new markets outside Europe – with a focus on North and South America
• Strengthening market penetration through targeted positioning of existing ARJES products
• Establishing new sales partners in previously untapped markets
• Further development of the global market strategy and identification of long-term growth potential

With this strategic expansion, ARJES aims for targeted, sustainable growth in the coming years and an even stronger position in international markets.

In working with his business partners, Jochen relies on open, honest communication and pragmatic solutions, following the motto: “Impossible doesn’t exist!”

“Personal contact with people from diverse cultures is incredibly exciting for me. What matters most is listening to the customer and understanding their needs precisely. Mobile machines and shredding technology have been part of my life since my studies. Recycling is one of the most important global future topics, and ARJES combines both.”

Beyond the technology and product portfolio, Jochen was particularly impressed by the collegial atmosphere, the pleasant working environment, and the short decision-making processes at ARJES GmbH.

Global Expansion Through Teamwork

Working alongside Jochen Kamm, Elke Ernest will continue her role as Global Sales Manager, responsible for Europe and the eastern world markets – including Asia and Australia. Together, they combine business development and global sales management into a strong, unified force.

“We want to take responsibility and create something lasting that will have an impact far beyond today. Trees are a symbol of sustainability, cohesion, and the future,” explains Martin Priewe, Head of Marketing at ARJES GmbH.

Climate protection with regional impact

The project is part of the long-term environmental initiative ARJES Save Nature. The aim is to contribute to climate protection through active local action. Every tree improves air quality, binds CO₂, and provides habitat for animals and plants. At the same time, the planting campaign strengthens regional ties and shows that ecological action and entrepreneurial thinking can go hand in hand.

Team spirit meets commitment

The collaborative dimension is particularly noteworthy: ARJES GmbH employees and their family members worked together with the Save Nature Group under the expert guidance of the Thuringian Forestry Office in Bad Salzungen. After the work was done, a well-deserved hot lunch awaited everyone involved. The Merkers fire department provided the appropriate catering and a good atmosphere with their field kitchen and equipment. It was a fitting end to a successful and meaningful day that will continue to have an impact for decades to come.

Continuing a success story

With this campaign, ARJES GmbH is continuing its ARJES Save Nature environmental project, which was successfully launched last year with educational and recycling initiatives at regional schools and kindergartens. “Our goal is to give back to nature and show that each of us can make a contribution,” said Priewe.

In times of scarcity, stones, bricks or even entire elements were often reused. Today, reuse is not just a financial option – it’s an ecological necessity. Modern rubble, though, is far more complex: reinforced concrete, composites, coatings and other add‑ons make selective separation harder. This is where concrete recycling comes in. If building elements are dismantled separately, much of the material can be processed for new purposes and fed back into the economy.

From Old to New – What Is Concrete Recycling?

Concrete recycling means processing old concrete – for example from demolition projects – into new aggregates (“recycled aggregate”). These aggregates can then be turned into recycled concrete that serves in many fields, from roadbeds and foundations to precast elements.

Imagine your city demolishes an outdated multi‑storey car park:

• Big concrete slabs and chunks are collected on site.
• The concrete is broken down and foreign materials such as steel are removed.
• The resulting recycled aggregate can later act as sub‑base for roads or – when quality allows – directly replace virgin aggregate in fresh concrete.

Turn waste into value! With the recycling solutions from ARJES you unlock the full potential of your construction and demolition waste. Whether concrete, bricks or mixed debris – our machines deliver powerful shredding, reliable separation and outstanding profitability. Get in touch – we’ll find the right set‑up for your job!

How Does Concrete Recycling Work?

The workflow can be summarised in five easy‑to‑grasp steps

• Selective Demolition
  Different materials are kept separate on site. Pure concrete is hauled away independently of mixed waste.
• Size Reduction
  On the recycling yard, or directly on site, a crusher is used. A mobile twin‑shaft shredder such as the COMPAKTOR 300 breaks the concrete into manageable pieces, drastically reducing volume.
• Sorting
  Integrated magnetic separators pull out ferrous metals, while windsifters use air jets to blow off lighter contaminants like insulation.
• Further Processing
  The various grain sizes can now either go straight into road construction (e.g. frost‑protection layers) or be refined into new concrete mixes.
• Reuse
  Blending the recycled aggregates with cement, sand and water creates fresh concrete – this final loop closes the material cycle.

Site example: A WWII bunker is demolished. A crawler excavator feeds large chunks onto a mobile shredder. After crushing and sorting, clean, graded aggregate remains – ready for reuse without the need to quarry new gravel.

Why Is Concrete Recycling Important?

Concrete recycling delivers a triple dividend: it shrinks our ecological footprint, stabilises construction budgets and builds public trust. By turning yesterday’s rubble into tomorrow’s resource we drastically cut quarrying and the CO₂‑heavy production of virgin aggregate, while keeping scarce landfill space free.

• Environmental
  relieffewer natural resources extracted, less landscape scarred.
• Cost savings
  lower material bills and disposal fees.
• Climate protection
  reduced cement demand cuts greenhouse‑gas emissions.
• Public image
  demonstrable sustainability wins clients and approvals.

Contractors who switch to recycled aggregates also protect themselves against volatile raw‑material prices and meet the tightening sustainability criteria seen in public tenders—turning compliance into a marketing advantage. Local authorities profit as well, because circular procurement keeps money in the region and reduces truck traffic. In short, recycling concrete transforms a disposal headache into a strategic asset for every stakeholder.

Where Is Recycled Concrete Used?

Recycled concrete isn’t a niche material; it has quietly become a workhorse across the construction spectrum. From heavy‑load infrastructure to small backyard makeovers, there is a fitting use‑case for every quality grade. Below are a few of the most common applications:

• Foundations & Slabs
  Many halls and houses can partly stand on recycled concrete once strength requirements are met.
• Landscaping
  Ideal as base layer for paths, patios or lawn‑grid blocks.
• Precast Elements
  Several manufacturers already integrate recycled aggregates into pavers, slabs or façade panels.
• Road Construction
  Mixed recycled aggregates are widely used as sub‑base or frost layer under asphalt.

Real‑life nugget: A homeowner removed an old terrace, crushed the slabs and reused the material as sub‑base for a garden path – saving disposal fees and the cost of new gravel.

Muscle & Brain – With What Is Concrete Recycled?

Concrete recycling needs robust machines, not rocket science:

• Powerful Crushers
  Two‑shaft shredders from ARJES unleash high torque on stubborn material. Choose the flexible COMPAKTOR 300 for smaller jobs or the heavy‑duty TITAN 900 when huge, reinforced chunks are waiting.
• Sorting Technology
  Magnetic separators lift steel out; windsifters create an air curtain to separate light from heavy.
• Skilled Crew
  Professionals assess the rubble and handle hazardous inclusions responsibly.

More and more mobile crushers drive straight onto the building site, cutting long truck hauls to a recycling plant.

From Rubble to Resource – How Recycled Concrete Builds Our Future

Concrete recycling benefits everyone: it relieves landfills, saves money, preserves resources and improves the construction industry’s eco balance. Whether you process rubble from a city‑scale project or from a private patio, the potential is immense. Going forward, expect wider use of mobile shredders and smart sorting tech to push recycling efficiency even further.

No Greenwashing – Recycled concrete must be deployed in truly relevant volumes. Large projects deserve real quality and environmental diligence.

What’s Next? – AI‑assisted sorters, electro‑dynamic fragmentation or carbon‑binding processes could become mainstream within the next few years.

Going forward, expect wider use of mobile shredders and smart sorting tech to push recycling efficiency even further.

Rubble Was Yesterday – Our Conclusion

Recycled concrete has gained real momentum. Rising material prices, limited landfill space and growing eco awareness will only accelerate the trend. So why not turn the old into the new and help the planet at the same time? Next time you plan to demolish a slab or lay lawn‑grid blocks, remember concrete recycling.
