“…They concluded that the ideal replacement level of glass waste is 10%. On the other hand, Nwofor and Ukpaka (2017) studied the replacement of fine and coarse aggregates by waste glass at percentages of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. They found that the optimal replacement in both cases (fine and coarse) was 20% compared to the other percentages.…”

Every year, millions of tonnes of glass waste pose terrible problems related to the environmental condition all over the world. The glass is mainly composed of silica. Its use in concrete could be a beneficial solution for the environment and also economic problems. In this mini review, the different possibilities of the valorization of glass waste by substitution of aggregates and cement in concrete have been explored. Its effects on the physicochemical and mechanical characteristics were examined in the main research in this direction. The use of waste glass in concrete can offer an improvement in concrete performance and an asset for participation in sustainable development by reducing this waste.
