Abstract: To overcome the issue of resource utilization and waste generation, research was carried out to obtain a useful building material in the form of Slu-brick from solid waste (sludge). This study focuses on the use of sludge in production of brick. Different series of sludge and various ingredients mixture proportions were studied. Various physical and environmental tests were conducted. While testing various parameters it has been observed that good quality Slu-brick can be produced upto 30 percent utilization of sludge in brick manufacturing. Replacing clay with sludge helps in the conservation of naturally available resources and improves the environmental quality.
