Harnessing Waste Ceramics for Sustainable Construction

by Umank Mishra and Kaushal Kumar

The potential utilization of waste ceramics in concrete presents a compelling avenue for enhancing sustainability in construction practices. Waste ceramics, which would otherwise contribute to environmental concerns, can be ingeniously repurposed to strengthen and augment concrete structures. By incorporating these discarded ceramics into concrete mixes, we not only mitigate the environmental impact of ceramic waste but also enhance the material properties of concrete. The unique properties of ceramics, such as high compressive strength and durability, contribute significantly to the overall performance of the resulting composite material. This sustainable approach not only reduces the demand for traditional raw materials but also minimizes the ecological footprint associated with ceramic disposal. The synergy between waste ceramics and concrete holds the promise of fostering environmentally responsible construction practices, thereby contributing to a more resilient and eco-friendly built environment.
