GREEN BRICKS: A REVIEW

Izhar Ansari, Mohd Akram, Mr Deepak Yadav

Abstract


Bagasse, the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction, is an abundant agricultural byproduct that has gained attention as a potential alternative material for the production of sustainable building materials, including bricks. This review explores the potential of bagasse as a brick material, focusing on its physical properties, production processes, benefits, challenges, and applications in the construction industry. By integrating bagasse into brick production, it may be possible to reduce the environmental footprint of traditional clay-based bricks while utilizing waste material that would otherwise be discarded. This paper reviews studies conducted on bagasse-based bricks, evaluates the material properties of these bricks, and discusses the feasibility of their industrial-scale production.
