Assessing the Use of Pine Chip Ash
in Manufacturing Soil–Cement Bricks

1 Introduction
Waste disposal is increasingly regulated and increasingly expensive. Therefore, it
is suggested a business perspective on value recovery through reuse of the whole
product (Kleindorfer et al. 2005). As Kleindorfer et al. (2005), internal strategies
for the future should be focused on investment in capabilities to recover substances
causing pollution, to develop substitutes to non-renewable inputs.
The recycling of waste is a prerequisite for sustainability since the generation
of waste is inevitable in the industry. The potential benefits of recycling to society
are, among others, the preservation of natural resources, energy-saving, reducing the
volume of the landfill, reduce pollution, creating jobs, reducing the cost of environmental control by industry, increased durability and even foreign currency economy
(Angulo et al. 2001).
Ayres (1989), suggests that companies must find better ways to convert waste
from one industry to be used in other sectors. Among these stand out waste mineral
ashes from different agro-industrial activities, these, have high percentages of silica
and other oxides, which can then be used as a pozzolan. The pozzolan property is
its ability to react with the calcium hydroxide released during the cement hydration
