Civil Construction is responsible for consuming large amounts of the non-renewable natural resources and generating significant environmental impacts, which begin with the extraction of the raw material for construction materials manufacturing, and extend to the end of the life cycle of the buildings. In this context, the development of more sustainable building materials is necessary as a way to mitigate the environmental impacts caused and contribute to the sustainable development of the sector. This paper brings the development of concrete bricks for interlocking pavement, manufactured from the addition of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) waste replacing part of the natural aggregates. For this, dosage studies were carried out in order to determine the dosage for bricks manufacturing. The bricks were produced and tested in order to verify their compression strenght and water absorption. At the end, the production costs of these bricks were estimated based on the SINAP 2015 table. The results showed that the developed bricks met the technical standard requirements for their use. However, in terms of costs, these have proved to be slightly more expensive than conventional parts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
