Abstract

: Bricks are a popular building and construction material used all over the world. Historic bricks are made of clay and fired at high temperatures, or from ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, and have a high embodied energy and a huge carbon footprint. There is already a scarcity of natural source material for the production of traditional bricks in many parts of the world. Extensive study on the bricks made from waste materials has been performed for environmental protection and sustainable development. This document provides an up-to-date review of research on the use of waste materials to make bricks. Although a wide range of waste materials have been investigated for use in the production of bricks using various processes, commercial production of bricks from waste materials is still quite limited. The methods for creating bricks from waste materials, the potential contamination from the waste materials utilized, and the lack of necessary information are all possible factors. However, commercial production of waste-derived bricks is currently quite limited. The processes for creating waste-based bricks, the potential contamination from the waste materials utilized, the lack of applicable standards, and the tardy acceptance of trash-based bricks by industry and the general public are all possible explanations. Further research and development is required for widespread production and application of waste-derived bricks, not only in terms of technical, economic, and environmental aspects, but also in terms of standardization, government policy, and public education related to waste recycling and sustainable development.
