Mortars with 25% recycled powders showed similar mechanical performance compared to reference Portland cement.
Using artificial aggregates improved mechanical performance by up to five times and lowered porosity.
Incorporating CDW powders reduced carbon emissions by up to 30%, highlighting environmental benefits.
Mixtures with artificial aggregates also contributed to lower emissions, improving circular economy aspects.
