        abstract = {In response to global environmental concerns, there's a growing interest in utilizing industrial waste, especially from demolished structures, for sustainable development, notably in the manufacturing of paver blocks. While traditional paver block production involves cement and various additives, newer methods incorporate demolished building waste, particularly in India's construction sector. With rapid urbanization leading to increased building construction and subsequent demolition, there's a pressing need for proper disposal and recycling of demolition waste, which currently amounts to about 530 million tons annually. Experimental studies have been conducted to assess the viability of using demolished waste as a complete replacement for fine aggregate in concrete blocks. Results show potential benefits for enhancing compressive strength compared to conventional blocks. Further research investigates the application of this technique in concrete paver blocks, emphasizing a mix design conducive to sustainable construction practices.},
