One of the major challenges facing society, in order to avoid environmental degradation and the contamination of water and soil sources, is the adequate disposal of industrial and urban waste. The area of construction is also considered to be the most harmful to the environment, especially as regards the waste of natural resources and the gradual increase of waste. This study aims to analyze the waste recycling process for the manufacture of non-structural concrete, promoting the practice of waste recycling as a sustainable alternative for the disposal of the debris. In order to respond to the research objectives, the methodological choice was a bibliographical review of the integrative type. The study showed that waste recycling is a sustainable alternative for waste disposal, reducing the chances of deposition in clandestine sites, helping to relieve pressure on landfills and allowing reuse of previously discarded materials.
