Present article discusses the production of concrete artifacts that use in their composition recycling aggregates of Solid Waste from Construction and Demolition (SWCD). The study was designed as experimental / comparative, with destructive tests of proof bodies made with recycled aggregates (test group) and with traditional aggregates (control group). Subsequent statistical analysis of the data collected from the comparison between these groups was conducted. The optimal dosage for artifacts produced with recycled aggregates was found, demonstrating that the choice of recycled materials could be an economical and environmentally sustainable solution in the context of the eco-innovations.
