This comprehensive review explores the development trends in the reuse of waste materials in concrete production, highlighting their critical role in advancing sustainable construction practices. We conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of various waste materials such as fly ash, slag, and recycled aggregates, and their impact on the properties and performance of concrete. The chapter also presents innovative case studies, such as the use of recycled glass and plastic waste in concrete, demonstrating real-world applications of these sustainable practices. Additionally, the review discusses technological advancements that facilitate the efficient processing and integration of waste materials into concrete. The overall focus is on balancing environmental benefits with the technical, economic, and social challenges inherent in adopting these sustainable methods. This review underscores the urgency and potential of integrating waste materials into concrete production, providing insights into the future directions of sustainable construction.
