The production and useof such waste materials will protect theenvironment from degradation. This paper summarizes the various studiesdone on use of recycling waste materialslike recycled concrete aggregates, use ofcrushed stone dust/quarry dust, waste glassand sewage incineration ash for producingconcrete as a sustainable constructionmaterial.
