Abstract
Abstract The concrete production has a huge demand in aggregate and clay (bricks) source. In the year 2015, 48.3 billion tonnes of aggregates are utilized as construction material globally per year in which 2.2 billion tonnes of aggregates were used in India. To overcome the demand of aggregate glass waste materials can be used as alternate construction material. In the year 2019, 21 billion tonnes of glass waste has been produced in India out of which only 45% is recycled, which shows that there is a need for proper procurement and management of waste glass. This review illustrate about utilization of waste glass in construction material such as blocks. The main aim of the study is to gain knowledge about the mechanical properties and physical properties of the blocks and other products produced with waste glass, to reduce the waste glass in landfill by producing sustainable construction material and to overcome the demand of aggregates and clay.
