Masonry Design Aids for Sustainability

Masonry is a durable resilient building material that does not burn, rust, rot, or mold providing for a very long service life. It is also 99% recyclable or reusable at the end of service where concrete block units can be broken down and used as aggregate in new concrete or as road crush and clay brick can be cleaned and reused or broken down and used as road crush or “grog” in the manufacture of new brick.
