Abstract: Due to rise in population there has been an immense need in increase of the infrastructure. Since most of the housing in India consists of concrete structures, the waste after demolition of these structures has been gathering. Every time a new structure is built by demolition of an existing one, it gives demolition waste. The amount of such wastes generated is increasing alarmingly and needs to be addressed. These wastes can be recycled and again be used in building new structures to minimize the wastage. It also has a positive effect on the environment. The urgent need for recycling these wastes can be seen in metropolitan cities where there is booming population and hence the need for new buildings. These new buildings shall be designed to accommodate more over a small area. Therefore, it shall contribute to the concrete wastes later on after completion of its life period. So, by every means, there is a need to control the wastes generated. The best effective method is recycling. The methodology used in this present study is recycling of the demolition waste and comparing the recycled material properties to naturally available material properties. Finally, the results will be projected to show that, use of recycled materials in normal construction works will be a solution to reduce the usage of natural resources and reduce the waste print in construction work.
