Abstract

Bricks are a popular building and construction material used all over the world. Historic bricks are made of clay and fired at high temperatures, or from ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, and have a high embodied energy and a hugecarbon footprint. There is already a scarcity of natural source material for theproduction of traditional bricks in many parts of the world. Bricks remain to be an important element in the infra structure development sector for hundreds of decades. Despite of having a wide variation of manufacturing methods, bricks are well known for their energy intensive firing-based manufacturing process which includes a huge environmental footprint. Several innovative techniques towards producing sustainable bricks and many investigations were attempted to reduce the carbon emission while manufacturing bricks. Extensive study on the bricks made from agro waste materials has been performed for environmental protection and sustainable development. This document provides an up-to-date research of research on the use of agro waste materials to make bricks. Although a wide range of agro waste materials have been investigated for use in the production of bricks using various processes, commercial production of bricks from agro waste materials is still quite limited. The methods for creating bricks from agro waste materials, the potential contamination from the agro waste materials utilized, and the lack of necessary information are all possible factors. However, commercial production of agro waste-derived bricks is currently quite limited. The processes for creating agro waste-based bricks, the potential contamination from the agro waste materials utilized, the lack of applicable standards, and the tardy acceptance of trash-based bricks by industry and the general public are all possible explanations. Further research and development isrequired for widespread production and application of agro waste-derived bricks, not only in terms of technical, economic, and environmental aspects, but also interms of standardization, government policy, and public education related to waste recycling and sustainable development.
