The global trend is moving towards the sustainability and hence sustainable building construction has prime importance in the construction industry. Due to huge urbanization activities lot of environmental issues are originating. Building construction using sustainable materials will lead to reduction in the pollution and also improve the existing situation of environmental problems. This paper discusses the use of recycled design products in the construction industry. Affordable sustainable housing projects made from locally available construction materials are in high demand. It safeguards the natural ecosystem, economy, and energy. As a result, the report considers unique products that could fulfil the minimum requirements for sustainable building construction. The primary goal of this research is to do a comparative review to determine the viability of using recycled building materials instead of conventional building materials.
