Sumario:This work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of generating non-load-bearing walls from the reinsertion of municipal solid waste MSW - EPS packaging waste - as construction and demolition waste CDW - masonry demolition debris. These wastes used in concrete as coarse aggregates make it possible to produce blocks for the construction of walls that guarantee a safe habitat as their response to fire meets code requirements. In the fire resistance test carried out at INTI, a value of FR120 was achieved. It is thus concluded that the application of circular economy and industrial ecology principles in construction processes not only contributes to the reduction of sending materials suitable for a second use to a final destination, but can also create a safe built space. Solving the logistics of waste collection and the insertion of the product in the market are the remaining challenges.
