From recent global research developments, lot of natural and artificial materials are coming from industries those are normally discarded or used as landfills are investigated for potential construction applications. There are different industry waste materials like steel slag, copper slag, electric furnace slag etc., which are used in various types of concretes such as conventional, geo-polymer self-compacting concretes. Now a day’s utilization of Self- Compacting Concrete (SCC) is increasing speedily because of its attractive characteristics like effective fresh, mechanical and durability properties and its large applications in construction. In addition to this, SCC materials are associated with sustainability issues. Necessity of SCC expected to continuously increases with increasing developments around the world. Therefore required an ideal solution and sustain technology; such as utilization of alternative materials. The present study explains application of industrial waste materials to replace fine and coarse aggregates in self-compacting concrete production. Also, effective limitations in using some of the waste materials as sustainable alternatives for coarse and fine aggregates have been mentioned. From this review, it is evident that factors like carbon emissions, energy for production and cost production of SCC can be notably decreased by incorporating of waste materials in place of fine and coarse aggregates in Self-Compacting Concrete.
