As per the programme of developing non-fired buildingmaterials under Decision No. 567/QĐ-TTg, the annual target is to use 15 to 20million tonnes of industrial waste such as ash or thermal slag to producenon-fired building materials.

If the Government wants to increase the use of non-firedbricks, the price must be attractive and full information must be given tousers, said Hiep, adding that non-fired brick producers needed encouragingpolicies to lower costs.

Enterprises had actively applied technology and invested inproduction to supply the market with many quality construction materialproducts, gradually diversifying products, Hiep said.

At the same time, Bach Dinh Thien from the NationalUniversity of Civil Engineering said that it was necessary to boost communicationsso that non-fired bricks were more widely used.
