  • Abstract:
  • Concrete bricks are used in large quantities. Waste plastic and glass disposal is a major concern, contributing to environmental degradation. This study aims to incorporate plastic (0.25–0.5%) and glass (12–18%) into concrete brick manufacturing. The bricks were tested for compressive strength, water absorption, and efflorescence. Experimental bricks showed improved compressive strength (up to 5.35 N/mm²), reduced water absorption (as low as 8%), and zero efflorescence. These bricks offer better performance and sustainability compared to conventional bricks.
