Exploring the Potential of Recycled Aggregates in Modern Construction Challenges and Innovations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The reliance of the construction industry reliance on natural aggregates has led to significant environmental concerns, including resource depletion and habitat destruction. This paper explores the potential of recycled aggregates as sustainable alternatives to natural materials, emphasizing their environmental and economic benefits. It provides a comprehensive review of various types of recycled aggregates, their extraction processes, associated challenges, and recent innovations to improve their applicability. Key findings highlight the effectiveness of advanced treatment techniques and material modifications in enhancing the performance of recycled aggregates. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and standardization efforts, aiming to integrate recycled aggregates into mainstream construction and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.
