Ceramic Waste: Reuse as a Recycled Aggregate

open access: yes, 2023
A large amount of ceramic waste of various types (from bricks, roof tiles, wall tiles, sanitary ceramics…) is generated both during its manufacturing processes and during the construction and demolition of buildings. Due to its long biodegra-dation period, depositing inert ceramic waste in landfills causes significant visual and environmental impacts ...
