Recycling Demolition Debris into Sustainable Construction Materials: A Comprehensive Review Study

Abstract

This article aims at converting rubble from demolished buildings into sustainable construction materials, addressing the growing need to manage debris from disasters, wars, and aging infrastructure. Such waste poses health and environmental hazards, and current reliance on landfills is both costly and unsustainable. The research investigates the feasibility of recycling materials like concrete and bricks, focusing on safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental impact. The paper objectives include reducing reliance on natural resources, promoting circular economy practices, and lowering construction costs. Recent studies findings indicate that replacing traditional materials with recycled debris is not only possible but also a promising solution for sustainable and resilient construction.
