Recycling waste materials into ceramics offers a promising pathway for developing sustainable building materials, addressing both environmental challenges and resource depletion. This study investigates the effects of incorporating industrial and post-consumer waste—such as glass, and fly ash- into ceramic formulations designed for building applications. Key parameters, including uniaxial compressive strength, moisture content, and soundness tests, are evaluated to determine the performance characteristics of the recycled-content ceramics. The research optimizes the composition and processing methods to enhance mechanical strength and durability, ensuring that the ceramics meet industry standards for structural applications. Results indicate that ceramics produced from recycled materials exhibit uniaxial compressive strengths comparable to traditional ceramics while maintaining acceptable moisture levels and soundness. This research underscores the viability of recycled-content ceramics as effective building materials, contributing to waste reduction, cost efficiency, and a circular economy within the construction industry.
