Development of Bricks by Utilizing Waste from Paper Industry

Abstract

Urbanization lead to a vast generation of paper waste and discharge of these waste materials became a major problem. Dumping and landfilling of solid waste leads to environmental degradation i.e ground water contamination through leaching, which results in soil pollution and also impact on human health. In recent years, the utilization of paper waste as become more potential to recycle the valuable material and decrease the volume of waste, other pollutants and dumping cost. This paper is concern to reuse and recycle the available paper waste generated from paper industry. to find a socioeconomic, eco-friendly solution, waste trash can be recycled for the preparation of bricks, which sustain a cleaner environment. The increased quest for sustainable and eco-friendly materials in civil construction works. It is useful to provide sustainable and potential solution in the construction field.
