It is proposed to manufacture plates in structured network of PVC pipes, filled with mortar composed of rejected materials of civil construction, and coal fly ash, hydrated lime and Portland cement, inspired by the traditional technique of earth construction called “taipa de mão”, employed in the State of Pará, Brazil. The final product is a contemporary and ecological construction system for the execution of partition panels, aiming the decrease and the reuse of waste construction’ materials, whose disposal causes environmental damage. The rejected materials have physical-chemical characteristics which allow its recycling, increasing the duration of their Life Cycle. Aiming to develop mortar’s material having characteristics as plasticity, elasticity and mechanical strength were made experiments with traces consisting of construction waste and Portland cement, duly processed and dosed for the confection of test bodies. These were submitted to the tests absorption of water, porosity, density, compressive strength and toughness, resulting in the selection of the most appropriate compound, in respect to use in manufacturing mountable ceramic plates for use in partition panels. The plates were submitted to the tests of compression and tension.
