This work aimed to manufacture a more eco-efficient product and recycle industrial waste, contributing to the solution of the disposal problem. Thus, this study evaluated the performance of alkali-activated pastes produced from industrial wastes in both phases, using chamotte as the precursor and waste glass (WG) as a component of the activating solution.
