Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the utilization of waste materials in the production of low-carbon construction materials. It covers a wide range of topics, including the basics of waste-to-materials, the use of various types of waste materials, the manufacturing and processing of low-carbon construction materials, and the design and applications of waste-to-materials in low-carbon construction. Notable features of this book include the detailed discussion of different waste materials, such as industrial, agricultural, and municipal solid wastes, and their properties and characteristics as construction materials. It also explores the manufacturing processes, performance and durability, and environmental impact of low-carbon construction materials, as well as the emerging technologies for their production. In addition, the book addresses the economic, regulatory, and social implications of using waste materials in construction, making it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in sustainable building practices.
