        abstract = {The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has led to the exploration of eco-friendly alternatives that reduce both resource consumption and environmental pollution. This study focuses on developing sustainable paver blocks utilizing industrial lathe waste and crumb rubber as partial replacements for traditional fine and coarse aggregates. The inclusion of these waste materials contributes to the circular economy by transforming industrial by-products into valuable construction resources. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate key performance parameters such as compressive strength, water absorption, durability, and abrasion resistance. The results demonstrate that paver blocks containing controlled proportions of lathe waste and crumb rubber exhibit satisfactory strength and durability within acceptable limits for non-structural and light-traffic applications. Furthermore, the proposed mix design significantly lowers the material cost and environmental footprint compared to conventional concrete blocks. This research highlights a viable approach to sustainable infrastructure development by integrating waste management strategies into paver block production. Could you please share the complete research paper text you’d like rewritten? Once I have it, I’ll create a thoroughly rephrased, human-like version with less than 3–4% similarity while preserving every technical detail and structure.},
