In the realm of brick manufacturing, understanding the factors and processes that contribute to brick waste, undervalued or excess stock, and "seconds" is crucial for optimizing production efficiency and sustainability. This research manifesto aims to identify the key elements in the manufacturing process that lead to these forms of waste and to examine other waste streams typically produced during brick production.

The manifesto also explores strategies to add value to waste bricks, enhancing their usefulness in architectural applications. Additionally, it will investigate potential factory and process improvements that could reduce the incidence of waste bricks from the outset, thereby promoting more sustainable manufacturing practices. By addressing these aspects, the research seeks to contribute to the development of more efficient and eco-friendly brick manufacturing methodologies..
