A nation’s ability to advance depends heavily on its infrastructure, which is frequently built using concrete. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is well-liked for its mechanical, durability and workability. But there is a problem: natural aggregate is scarce. In light of the depletion of natural resources, investigating substitute materials is essential to maintaining building quality. The ceramic tile business has developed into a highly industrialized sector within the last 20 years, producing a large amount of trash. This trash presents environmental risks and pollutes the air, water, and land since it is made up of ceramic combinations. The environment and public health are adversely affected by around 30% of the trash produced every day in the ceramics industry. Although some research points to the possible use of ceramic waste in building materials, its acceptance is hampered by a lack of clear regulations, which puts the sector in the face of growing waste management difficulties. This research looks at using leftover ceramic tile as fine aggregate in SCC. Six SCC mixes were made, with the amount of leftover ceramic tile ranging from 0% to 50%. Based on fresh, mechanical, and durability qualities, the mix’s density and homogeneity are enhanced by the use of discarded ceramic tile. The SCC combinations provide positive results in terms of improved mechanical strength and optimum durability qualities, especially when natural M-sand is substituted by 40%.
