The construction sector, responsible for up to 40% of global CO2 emissions, faces significant environmental challenges due to the growing volume of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). This article examines the practice of reusing CDW in the Brazilian context, highlighting its potential and barriers. The methodology adopted is a Systematic Literature Review, analyzing 11 relevant studies. The results reveal economic and environmental opportunities, but highlight barriers such as the lack of effective policies. To move forward, an integrated approach is needed, including legislative changes, environmental education and technological innovations.
