Among the many building materials used around the globe, concrete ranks high. Nevertheless, a
substantial quantity of carbon dioxide (CO2) is released during the manufacturing of portland cement, a key ingredient
in concrete. It is estimated that the manufacture of one tonne of portland cement clinker results in the emission of
around one tonne of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). According to Naik and Moriconi (2005), the cement and
concrete industry is focusing on environmental concerns as a means to achieve sustainable growth.Reducing cement
consumption and mitigating environmental pollution can be achieved by substituting pozzolanic materials for a portion
of cement. There is previously recognised use for some industrial wastes in concrete, such as fly ash, blast furnace slag,
silica fume, etc. New studies have demonstrated that recycled glass may be a valuable ingredient in concrete, either
alone or in combination with other materials. The silica in waste glass gives it some pozzolanic characteristics when
crushed into a fine powder. Thus, glass powder can partially substitute cement, which increases strength and improves
durability (Chikhalikar S.M. and Tande S.N., 2012). In recent years, there has been a significant decline in the demand
for recycled glass, especially mixed-glass. Because of the costs associated with conditioning, recycling glass is more
expensive than storing it. Reusing composite-glass can be achieved in a number of ways. Prior research indicates that
none of these uses—which need pre-conditioning and crushing—are particularly robust and could not possibly use up
the whole amount of recyclable glass. Reusing this glass in concrete might be an attractive and viable option for a long-
term solution to the problem of glass storage [Idir R, 2009].In this paper, we survey the literature on the topic of using
crushed glass powder in Portland cement concrete as a cement substitute. We look at both the past and the future of this
field of study.
