Abstract (EN): Environmental legislation has placed constraints on the extraction of natural resources. As the construction industry is highly dependent on raw materials, more sustainable choices are required. This necessitates a cost-benefit analysis of the alternatives. Focusing on the benefits to the environment with the reduction of clay consumption, this work proposes an exploratory study on the production of unburned bricks with construction and demolition ceramic waste. The construction and demolition waste used was composed solely of ceramic brick remains, being crushed and sieved until reaching the desired granulometry to start the manufacturing process. Among three different properties, the bricks that obtained the best performance were those that incorporated higher content of construction and demolition ceramic waste.
