CMWR and TCMT fired bricks were respectively under the limit requirements fixed by the Building Materiał Decree and the US-EPA regułation.

The collaboration between different actors like briek making plants (potential wastes consumers), private and public construction operators (bricks client), thermal power plants (coal client), and stakeholder engagement (local, regional. and national govemmental institutions, International, etc.) is a must to encourage the use of CMWR. This manner of doing will lead to various benefits such as energy consenation, emission reduction, and finite natural resources consenation. Furthermore, this ecofriendly and sustainable way is a promising technology particularly in Morocco where brick coal demand is pretty high. Currently, new projects are being launched to meet the Moroccan govemment programs in relation to national tourism strategy, addressing the housing infrastructure shortage and also the transition towards thermally isolated buildings. It is obvious that the new regulation in terms of thermal properties requirements will lead to the production of new and morę fired bricks products in order to respond to market increasing demand.
