This research investigated an alternative approach to producing bricks from clay, glass and plastic waste without firing and cement. It provides a possibility of manufacturing sustainable bricks with lower energy consumption and carbon emissions. Moreover, this approach has the potential to divert waste materials from landfills by re-purposing them into construction materials.
