| dc.description.abstract | The sustainable development in the building sector, needs to integrate environmentally sustainable solutions. In the herein research work a new sustainable green-brick, using cellulosis waste, is introduced aiming at the sustainable development in the construction industry. The use of waste contributes to the reduction of landfills with the consequent availability of suitable areas for reafforestation and the production of low cost raw materials with energy consumption reduction, and diminuishing the carbon footprint. The purpose was to characterize a cement brick composed of cement, sand, dregs (in two different proportions), and water. In the current world’s food crisis, the need to preserve healthy and fertile soils is one of the needs of today’s societies and a key point for the EU Green Deal in what is the Road map for the sustainability of the European Union. Promoting resource use efficiency through the adoption of a circular and clean economy in climate change scenarios, reversing biodiversity losses, and controlling pollution, in soils, water, and the atmosphere, are critical for the future of our planet. The present project is at Technologic Readiness level (TRL) 7 and Business Readiness Level (BRL) 4. It is anticipated that TRL 9 will be achieved within one year – and within two years to BRL 7. | eng |
