Conversion of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste into aggregates that can be used in concrete has emerged as one of the solutions to the above mentioned problems. Through this paper, an attempt is made to assess the sustainability of M25 grade of concrete with different replacement levels of recycled coarse aggregate following a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment approach. In order to achieve the strength requirement, the mix design parameters were suitably modified with increase in replacement levels of recycled aggregates. Impact assessment was done using CML 2001 baseline method. Results showed that, with optimum usage of coarse recycled
