How Recycled Glass Blocks are Reinventing Construction How Recycled Glass Blocks are Reinventing Construction

How Recycled Glass Blocks are Reinventing Construction Sustainability in construction is no longer a fringe idea. It’s a necessity. Amid the growing urgency to decarbonise the built environment, one innovation is turning heads: compressed earth blocks (CEBs) reinforced with recycled glass. And not just as filler – scientists have discovered a sweet spot in the mix that transforms waste into strength. A ground-breaking study, published in Discove…
