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. On the other hand, the construction industry consumes a large amount of energy and natural raw materials, with concrete and Portland cement being the most commonly used materials. This chapter summarises various studies carried out in order to reuse and value different types of ceramic waste as recycled aggregate in the manufacture of concrete.
