  2. • Flemish production: 3,5 Mton masonry products per year • Mixed aggregates (40-60 m% masonry) – 4,3 Mton (32m% of the recycled aggregates) – <5 € /ton • Masonry aggregates (>60 m% masonry) – 0,3 Mton (3m% of the recycled aggregares) – <3 € /ton

  3. • Goal: 10% replacement of the raw materials in bricks with recycled C&DW (masonry fraction).  complete replacement of the inert sand fraction: opening substance (‘temper’) • Other materials (e.g. clay content): not changed

  4. Lab tests • No quality decrease with gypsum or mortar contamination • Gypsum contamination: potential flue gas problem • Concrete => limestone => pop-outs • Presence of lime => distribution is crucial

  5. Sampling • Reference: porphyry sand (Dumoulin) • Mixture 1: production waste • Mixture 2: selective demolition

  12. • Soluble salts: – Na + K: 0,05% – Mg: 0,01 % • Freeze/thaw (CEN TS 772-22): no visible damage

  13. Masonry aggregates = Low-grade mixed aggregates

  14. Conclusions • 10 V% replaced • Newly produced bricks meet all the required standards • Robustness against the presence of mortar => The sand fraction of a selectively demolished masonry fraction can easily be recycled in new bricks
