Utilization of Industrial waste in construction Industry – a Review

Abstract

The reuse of industrial wastes will help in solving the environmental pollution issues associated with their disposal, but it will also increase the preservation of natural resources that are reducing rapidly. The major motivation of this project is the increase in waste products and increasing consumption of cement in construction industry. By reducing use of cement cost of construction can be reduced and it also reduces the environmental hazards produced by cement. Concrete is found to be second-most consumed material on the planet, after water, with each human using approximately three tons per year on average. In this paper utilization of several industrial wastes, such as sludge from Toothpaste industry, in construction has been reviewed critically.
