The extreme weather events observed especially in the 21st century highlight the urgent need to change habits. In civil construction, the recycling of solid waste, through reverse logistics and shared responsibility, is essential. This practice reduces the carbon footprint, promotes the circular economy and improves sustainability, combating pollution and the depletion of natural resources. This work reviews experiences of reusing ground glass and types of plastic, especially contaminated and nonrecyclable ones, to create a composite used in construction. This approach transforms waste into useful materials, contributing significantly to environmental sustainability.
