        abstract = {Rapid urbanization has significantly increased the demand for concrete materials, raising concerns regarding environmental sustainability and construction waste management. This study reviews the development of concrete paver blocks using recycled aggregates and silica fume as sustainable alternatives to conventional materials. A review of fifteen contemporary research papers indicates that the incorporation of recycled concrete aggregates and industrial by-products not only addresses environmental challenges but can also enhance the mechanical and durability properties of paver blocks. Findings show improvements in compressive and flexural strength, reduced permeability, and increased durability when optimal proportions of recycled aggregates and silica fume are used. Moreover, the use of these supplementary materials contributes to lower carbon emissions, minimizes reliance on natural resources, and promotes a circular construction economy. The reviewed literature also highlights that proper mix design and quality control play a critical role in achieving consistent performance. Overall, these results suggest a promising pathway toward green construction practices that optimize resources, reduce landfill burden, and deliver durable, cost-effective, and high-performance concrete pavers suitable for modern infrastructure needs.},
