Worldwide concrete production is increased due to massive infrastructure developments and increasing worldpopulation. To meet the rising demand of concrete, leads to production of huge quantity of ordinary Portland cement(OPC) and utilization of enormous amount of natural aggregates. The production of OPC liberates huge amount of CO2to the atmosphere which leads to the global warming. The rising demand of environment friendly construction materialshas been the driving force for developing sustainable and cost-effective construction materials. Geo polymer analternative binder to OPC is gaining increased interest with lesser CO2 emission in comparison to OPC. An amplesummary report on the outcomes of extensive literatures reveals the benefits of incorporating recycled concreteaggregate (RCA) in geo polymer concrete (GPC) mixtures, constituents of GPC, strength and its potential applications invarious construction fields. In near future, GPC needs further research to make it as a user friendly constructionmaterial for practical applications in construction sector.
