Introduction

In today’s world of fancy buildings, skyscrapers and heavily equipped buildings somewhere we are neglecting the nature ,due to which there is an increase of CO2 in our atmosphere and simultaneously increase in global warming in the world. Bulky constructions are something that releases a lot of heat from them as the materials used to build them are not so eco-friendly to the environments, to solve these kind of problem or may be to decrease these kind of problems lightweight structures are used all over the world.

Sustainability and the reduction of CO2 emission have taken an important attention in all industries. In particular, the construction industry is influenced due to the extensive use of materials and the large amount of waste generated. An enormous contribution to sustainable design can be made by changing the design of traditional members and systems and integrating new or under-developed materials from the initial stages.

This paper explores the potential application of agro waste because the ingredient for alternate sustainable construction materials. Supported the provision of agro waste materials, are evaluated for their physio- mechanical properties, technique of production and environmental impact. The appliance of agro waste for sustainable construction materials provides an answer that offers reduction in natural resources use a wall as energy.

Using waste things in a very productive way is what sustainability is all about. There are many countries in which agricultural waste are used as building material , material to prepare furniture as well as these material are used for waste water management . but there are also a lot of countries where agro waste material are not used they are just disposed for by burning which actually increase’s the pollutant content in the atmosphere and has an adverse effect on the human beings living all around. These countries need to divert their disposal strategies and also start using those materials in a very sensible way which could contribute to the sustainable environment.
