The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) combined with optimized dosing techniques are essential for fulfilling the premises of decarbonization and dematerialization, essential for sustainable development in civil construction. In view of this, this study aims to analyze the potential for incorporating powders (Φ< 0.15mm) of construction and demolition waste (CDW), originating from concrete and red ceramic waste, into concrete. The physicochemical characteristics and reactivity of the powders were analyzed, being used as SCM in dosing using the Alfred method of concretes (CV - concrete with red ceramic powder) and (CC - concrete with concrete powder), analyzed for resistance. Compression at 28 and 180 days, electrical resistivity at 28 days, and their environmental indicators. It was found that ceramic powder acts as pozzolan, and concrete powder has a filler effect. Binder consumption was reduced by 43% and 33%, with carbon indices of 5.85 and 6.73 kg of CO2/m³/MPa (for CV and CC), and resistance class C50 at 28 days, with risk negligible corrosion, highlighting the potential for incorporation of CDW powders, combined with the optimization of dosage, made high-performance concrete possible.
