Globalization and urbanization growth are disbalancing the nature by creating technology and by
increasing population respectively. Population growth is generating trash including the non-renewable ones.
Use and throw objects came into existence and as a result, created wastes. After decades, the waste is
generating beyond limits that it has created the mountain like piles in the landfills, which is creating hazards
for the environment and human health. A better approach to reduce the waste is to recycle and reuse them as
an alternative solution to building material industry. The question which arises here is that if wastes should
be recycled or reused; what all are the waste materials which can be reused in building material industry
without harming the environment. The recycling of waste materials produces lot of demerits to environment
and human health. Polyethylene and rubber tires are being used in preparing the roads, plastic bottles are
being used to build walls, fly ash is used in bricks etc. measures are being taken. The research paper will try
to do a detailed SWOT analysis to find a suitable reusable waste material for building material industry,
which will be environment friendly. The plastic waste, construction demolition waste and transport industry
waste are the wastes that can be reused as building materials. The 3 wastes have the ability to withstand
calamities and loads, are easy to build with, cheap, clean and has passed the structural tests. The paper
intends to provide the information regarding the construction with the help of the 3 materials. This approach
will help to manage the waste, build a sustainable environment, lower the greenhouse gases, maintain the
natural resources etc.
