Enhancing Concrete Strength and Durability using Recycled Waste Glass

Glass is one of the most widely used materials globally, and significant amounts of waste glass are produced daily from used products. If not managed properly, this waste glass harms the environment, often ending up in landfills, where it negatively impacts land fertility. This paper addresses the environmental issue of waste glass disposal and investigates its potential as a sustainable component in concrete. By incorporating waste glass into concrete, the study aims to reduce landfill waste while improving the concrete’s strength, workability, and overall performance. Additionally, using waste glass as a partial replacement for traditional materials in concrete can lower construction costs. This research emphasizes the value of waste glass as a resource for the construction industry, offering an eco-friendly solution that addresses both waste management and the enhancement of concrete properties. Additionally, the incorporation of recycled waste glass in concrete contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing landfill waste and lowering the demand for natural sand extraction. This study highlights the potential of waste glass as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative in modern construction, paving the way for sustainable infrastructure development.
