A method for recycling an amine reclaimer waste composition obtained during reclaiming of an amine scrubbing solution has the steps of extracting carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas with an amine scrubbing solution, reclaiming the amine scrubbing solution wherein the amine reclaimer waste composition is obtained, and adding the amine reclaimer waste composition as a grinding aid to a binder component or as an admixture for enhancing the strength development and/or workability of a binder to the binder or a hydraulic building material made with the binder. A method for manufacturing a binder for manufacturing building materials uses the amine reclaimer waste composition.
