Slag is produced in enormous amounts by steelworks, which are scrap metal recycling industries that produce steel wire rods and steel reinforcing bars. In the absence of a sustainable recovery route, the latter pose a possible environmental risk. This work is concerned with the valorization of this by-product in the production of concrete pavers. To accomplish so, the slag was previously evaluated using X-ray fluorescence, particle size analysis, density, absorption coefficient, and other criteria that are recommended for usage in this field. The pavers were then manufactured using the Dreux Gorisse recipe, with slag substituting the gravel. The results demonstrate that the slag is rich in iron, which is characterized by lime, silica, and magnesia rates of 31.73%, 16.33%, and 16.33%, respectively, low percentages of manganese and alumina. The water absorption rate is between 2.6% and 2.8%, and their density is similar to 3.6 kg/l. Los Angeles has a 20-coefficient. As a result of their inclusion in the design of the pavers, they were able to split in line with the NF EN 1338 standard and retained a reasonable degree of tensile strength.
