The growing emphasis on sustainable development has catalyzed advancements in the design and application of ceramic materials, shifting focus toward environmental protection and green design principles. Conventional ceramics, known for their robust mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, face criticism due to energy-intensive production and reliance on non-renewable raw materials. This research explores innovative approaches to ceramic material design that align with sustainability objectives, including reduced carbon emissions, resource optimization, and waste reutilization. Special attention is given to two categories of eco-friendly ceramics: geopolymer ceramics and recycled glass ceramics. Geopolymer ceramics, synthesized from industrial by-products like fly ash and slag, demonstrate low-energy manufacturing processes and reduced CO₂ emissions, making them ideal for applications in construction and insulation. Recycled glass ceramics, created by transforming waste glass into functional materials, mitigate glass waste while offering superior mechanical and aesthetic properties for architectural uses. This study highlights the synthesis methods and properties of these materials, emphasizing their potential to address pressing environmental challenges while maintaining functional performance.
