Abstract

A growing number of building projects seek eco-friendly and sustainable materials to reduce their environmental impact. Incorporating agro-waste into concrete production is one promising strategy. Agro-waste often considered a replacement of coarse and fine aggregate or fiber, is a rich source of renewable and biodegradable materials that can enhance the performance and reduce the environmental footprint of these construction components. In previous studies, rice husk, coconut coir, sugarcane bagasse, and a variety of agricultural residue materials were found to be suitable for incorporation into concrete. The availability and affordability of these materials make them attractive alternatives to traditional non-renewable resources. Moreover, it highlights the importance of using agro-waste for environmental reasons, such as reducing the carbon footprint of construction materials and reducing the need for landfill disposal. These practices align with the principles of a circular economy, promoting the responsible use of resources. A discussion is provided of the performance and properties of the materials produced, including their strength, durability, and insulation capabilities. Agro-waste can enhance these attributes and increase the applications of concrete tiles and particle boards, contributing to the creation of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. Agro-waste can be utilized to manufacture concrete tiles and particle boards in an environmentally friendly manner. The purpose of this study is to provide a summary of the potential benefits of integrating agro-waste into sustainable practices while addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with this innovative approach. This paper presents findings that are intended to inspire further research and development in the field of green construction materials.
