Abstract: A method for manufacturing building elements, in particular building panels, from solid waste is described, in which the latter is provided, sorted according to category, in different fractions of a specified particle size. The different fractions are mixed in specified proportions with addition of water and binder. The resulting mixture is subjected to a continuous extrusion process, in which a strand-like preproduct is produced. Through a cutting operation, the desired dimensions of the building element in the extrusion direction are at least approximately produced. The building-element blanks are then dried and the binder present therein is set. This continuously working process is much more economical compared with the prior art and can be carried out on a large-scale industrial basis.
