Production and Carbon Emission Calculation of Bricks Incorporating Construction And Demolition Waste and Pet Pellets

The study aims to incorporate solid wastes in the brick where cement is binding agent and perform comparative analysis of mechanical properties (compressive strength, density, water absorption). Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Construction Demolition waste are that partially replace sand mixture sand. compressive absorption, dry density waste-incorporated bricks determined which compared with all parameters traditional bricks. 2% PET showed best strength 13.515 MPa. While determining carbon emissions composite it 0.6 0.9 kg CO2 had been generated from raw material extraction processing phase, however, production phase involved no emission because process was manual heating or firing. have potential be used as structural elements, require further for optimization binder content respect cost, emission.
