Abstract
cost-effectiveness, structural
integrity, and environmental impact of these bricks compared to conventional materials. The
study reveals that recycled bricks provide notable cost savings, reduce carbon emissions, and
enhance durability, presenting a viable solution to economic and environmental challenges.
Furthermore, the research highlights the potential of these materials to promote sustainable
construction practices and serve as a model for other institutions facing similar issues. These
findings align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11 and 12 by advocating innovative,
eco-friendly building practices that minimize waste and reduce carbon footprints.
