Abstract
The rapid growth in the global population necessitated an increase in construction activities to provide shelter for humans, consequently driving the construction industry's significant contribution to the GDP of ASEAN countries. This study specifically examined the utilization of green materials for concrete in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Construction, being a material-intensive sector, consumed vast amounts of natural resources and generated substantial waste and harmful emissions, posing significant environmental challenges. In response, sustainable development initiatives were prioritized across ASEAN nations to address these issues. Governments and relevant authorities implemented various strategies to promote sustainable practices in construction, including providing financial support to both public and private sectors. Among these practices, the adoption of green materials for concrete stood out as a promising approach for sustainable development in the construction sector. By incorporating recycled aggregates, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and other environmentally friendly alternatives, these countries aimed to reduce resource consumption, minimize waste generation, and mitigate environmental impact. Embracing sustainable construction practices not only promoted environmental stewardship but also contributed to long-term economic viability and social well-being in the ASEAN region.
