Popis: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute an action plan for the environment and people. One of the main goals is to limit the increase in global average temperature to 2 °C and aim for a stop at 1.5 °C. The goals of the circular economy (CE) are in line with the SDGs. In the waste management chain, the last CE element is a recovery in the municipal solid waste incineration plant (MSWIP). However, during recovery, municipal solid waste bottom ash (MSWIBA) is created (in about 30% of the bunch). The development of MSWIBA in the construction industry is a possibility of closing the cycle. This article shows the MSWIBA formation process, alkali pre-treatment of MSWIBA, and its geopolymerisation. Studies have determined the mechanical properties of geopolymer with MSWIBA and leachability from crushed and from monolith geopolymer. Alkali pre-treatment improves MSWIBA mechanical properties and upgrades immobilisation. Moreover, geopolymerisation is a better solution than concreting, because of the lack or low consumption of high-emission and energy-intensive cement. A SWOT analysis was carried out for the proposed solution.
