| Summary: | Concrete is the most commonly used and dependable substance and the most consumed among all other construction materials. However, the construction industry’s insatiable need for building supplies has led to the widespread exploitation of natural resources like river sand and stone. However, one of the most pressing problems in the construction industry and others nowadays is excessive waste and byproducts. Promoting ecological control and the goal of sustainable progress has put environmental pressure on all businesses, including construction, to embrace eco-friendly practices. Environmentalists’ concerns about the dangers posed by the widespread use of natural resources in building construction are growing. In some instances, construction debris may be harmful to the environment. Global building growth and redevelopment plans have worsened demolition in the construction industry. The demand for construction materials is increasing yearly due to urbanism, but their costs are rising simultaneously. Using industrial waste like polymers and rubbers and natural waste like olive stones and pumice stones to replace cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate to reduce building costs conserves natural resources from exhaustion and protects the environment from waste impact and risks. The current research shows how waste can be used to replace materials on construction sites and the impact of the properties of these materials on the quality of concrete.
