The recycling of such waste into structural ceramics can be
technologically, economically, and environmentally attractive
because it produces materials with higher mechanical resistance,
enables the reuse of water treatment sludge, reduces exploration
costs for clay and thus natural resources are preserved, reduces the
cost of treatment, provides for environmentally sound disposal of
waste, and improves the company's image with stakeholder, among
others, by providing for the sustainability of the pulp industry, with
a strategic outlook toward future generations. In addition, new raw
materials for ceramic products can be generated and products of
quality can be manufactured.
