        abstract = {The increasing generation of foundry waste, particularly sand and other by-products, presents significant environmental challenges. However, these materials can potentially be repurposed in the construction industry, especially in the manufacturing of paver blocks and concrete. This study explores the beneficial reuse of foundry waste in the production of paver blocks and concrete, aiming to reduce waste disposal issues and enhance sustainability in construction practices. The foundry waste was incorporated into concrete and paver block mixtures at varying replacement levels of sand and cement. The effects on the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of the resulting concrete and paver blocks were thoroughly analyzed. The study reveals that the incorporation of foundry waste led to improvements in workability, compressive strength, and durability, especially when used at moderate replacement levels. This research suggests that foundry waste, when processed and used appropriately, can serve as a sustainable alternative in concrete production, reducing the environmental impact of both the construction and foundry industries},
