The present disclosure is related to an eco-brick for reuse in any building that requires by law to recycle in-situ its construction / demolition residues generated by architectural work. In this case, the invention is related to a brick that uses as raw material: clay, logging residues and construction residues technically evaluated through mechanical testing of compressive strength and water absorption; as an additive, the Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage is employed. The eco-brick manufactured as a result of this research, meets the values required by the Mexican Standards in terms of size, compressive strength and initial absorption. Esta invención se refiere a un eco-ladrillo para su reúso en cualquier edificación que requiera por normatividad reciclar in situ los residuos de la construcción y/o demolición que se generen por obra. En este caso se trata de un ladrillo que utiliza como materia prima, arcilla, residuos de tala y residuos de construcción evaluados técnicamente a través de pruebas mecánicas de resistencia a la compresión y absorción de agua, como aditivo se emplean el mucílago del nopal. El eco-ladrillo fabricado en esta investigación cumple con los valores requeridos por la normatividad mexicana en cuanto a tamaño, resistencia a la comprensión y absorción inicial.
