ABSTRACT
Among the most important concerns facing construction engineering are sustainability and environmental challenges, particularly in light of the growing amount of industrial waste that seriously harms the environment. In order to encourage environmental habits and lessen the detrimental effects of this industry, this study intends to investigate the possibilities for creating sustainable construction materials based on the utilization of recovered industrial waste. In order to enable its use as a crucial component of sustainable building materials, it also seeks to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of industrial waste and evaluate its adherence to quality and safety standards. The study's analytical methodology, which focused on design models and the classification of potential sustainable materials made from industrial waste, as well as an evaluation of the environmental and economic aspects of their use, was founded on a thorough review of theoretical frameworks and earlier pertinent research. The components of industrial waste that are compatible with the qualities of sustainable building materials were identified through the research findings, emphasizing the technological and planning requirements that guarantee the required performance in terms of strength, durability, and safety while lowering costs and improving the environmental impact. The findings also concurred that the application of these materials advances the idea of sustainability in the building sector, highlighting the necessity of resolving theoretical and technological issues to guarantee efficacy and sustainability over the long run. A viable theoretical option that creates new opportunities for innovation is the development of sustainable construction materials from recovered industrial waste. To overcome obstacles and accomplish broad acceptance of these technologies in the construction industry, more applied research is necessary.
