Abstract
A challenging situation has currently developed in the Russian Federation with the formation, accumulation, use, storage, and disposal of industrial waste. This has lead to environmental pollution, environmental abuse, and, as a result, significant economic damage. About 80 billion tons of various types of solid waste, including construction waste, have been accumulated in dumps and storage facilities on the territory of the country. About 7 billion tons of such waste is annually added to the waste already accumulated in the country. Such huge reserves occupy considerable areas near residential areas. Russia annually allocates about 10,000 hectares of usable land for solid industrial waste landfills and dumps. It remains unknown what areas are occupied by unauthorized dumps of construction waste. The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the use of floured silicate brick waste in the manufacture of highly efficient building products.
