Article Synopsis
- The linear economy operates on a "take-make-dispose" principle, causing significant waste and environmental degradation, while a circular economy emphasizes "reduce-reuse-recycle" to minimize this impact.
- The study focuses on integrating coal mine waste and olive pomace to create eco-friendly fired materials, specifically lightweight fired bricks, thus promoting sustainability in construction.
- Results showed that adding olive pomace improved the bricks' properties, such as thermal insulation and strength, underscoring the importance of adopting circular economy practices in the building materials industry.
