Abstract
Abstract The exponential growth in industrialization, urbanization, and population has subsequently increased the accumulation of different wastes to hazardous levels. Among these, electronic waste (E-waste) poses a serious threat to the environment with its production rising due to technological advancements worldwide. Therefore, recycling E-waste as an alternate aggregate replacement material in the construction industry can be advantageous in managing this waste stream. This study aims to present a comprehensive insight into the integrated applications of E-waste concrete composite materials in the construction industry including applications to increase the environmental sustainability of concrete…
