Consid&eacute;rez ceci : la production de briques d'argile cuites traditionnelles est responsable d'environ<strong>2,6 milliards de tonnes d&rsquo;&eacute;missions de CO2 par an<\/strong>un contributeur majeur aux gaz &agrave; effet de serre dans le monde. De plus, les d&eacute;chets de construction et de d&eacute;molition repr&eacute;sentent pr&egrave;s de<strong>30 % de tous les d&eacute;chets g&eacute;n&eacute;r&eacute;s dans de nombreuses r&eacute;gions<\/strong>la plupart finissant dans des d&eacute;charges.
