The growing global interest in preserving the environment from solid waste resulting from various human activities and transformations has attracted the attention of industrialists to find the technical means to reduce or otherwise exploit it. Many agricultural and industrial wastes are already undergoing recycling experiments for the production of porous fired clay bricks lighter than traditional bricks which, in particular, have better insulation capacity. The use of waste in fired clay brick production may also save clay from avoidable depletion and reduce the environmental contamination by waste, contributing to sustainability. Recently, clay-based bricks with the beneficial utilization of industrial “scrap-soil” as admixture have been developed and characterized, in order to contribute to the circular economy, environmental protection and conservation of natural resources [1]. Many researchers have also presented reviews on the reuse of agricultural and industrial waste in fired clay bricks. This includes, for example, the use of sawdust, coal, paper sludge and straw [2], spent grains [3], rice husk ash [4], sludge waste from natural rubber manufacturing process [5], rubber [6], industrial laundry mud [7], paper processing wastes [8], waste tea [9], sawdust, tobacco and grass [10], cherry seeds [11], cigarette butts [12, 13], bagasse waste [14], sugarcane bagasse ash [15], high Ca-fly ash [16], quarry waste and slag [17], granite powder [18], natural fibers [19], silica fume [20], waste from olive oil mills [21-24], and ground olive stones [25]. Dates are important as a food (easily stored and transported) and a source of building material, as the fronds provide fiber for thatching roofs and making baskets, while the tree trunks are used for construction [26]. They are a typical natural waste, readily available in large quantities in a number of countries. They are usually discarded, so it is essential to develop and diversify the use of such an abundant and accessible material. Date pits have significant potential in construction. Pulverized ground date pits are being used on a small scale on dirt roads as a type of road base gravel [27]. Almograbi [28] has reported that the large quantity Influence of the diameter of ground date pits on the technological properties of clay bricks
