Use Of Recycled And Waste Material For Sustainable Construction- A Review

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate the potential use of various recycled and wastes for producing materials for Construction. More production equals more waste, more waste creates environmental threat. An economical viable solution to this problem should include utilization of waste materials for new products which in turn minimize the heavy burden on the nation’s landfills. Recycling of waste construction materials saves natural resources, saves energy, reduces solid waste, reduces air and water pollutants and reduces greenhouse gases. The construction industry can start being aware of and take advantage of the benefits of using waste and recycled materials. This paper discusses the environmental implications caused by the generation of various solid wastes, and highlights their recycling potentials and possible use for producing construction materials. This paper generally deals with the use of recycled and other waste materials in the construction and their different application in the field of construction.
