The vitrified industry inevitably generates wastes, irrespective of the improvements introduced inmanufacturing processes. These wastes create a problem in present-day society; require a suitable form of managementin order to achieve sustainable development. In this research study the fine aggregate has been replaced by vitrifiedwaste powder accordingly in the range of 0%, 15%, 17%, 19%, 21%, 23%, 25% & 27% by weight for M-25 gradeconcrete. The wastes employed came from vitrified industry which had been deemed unfit for sale due to a variety ofreason, including mechanical defects, or defects in the firing process. The results demonstrate that the use vitrifiedmasonry rubble as active addition endows cement with positive characteristics as key mechanical strength and theeconomic advantages. Reuse of this kind of waste has advantages financial and eco-friendly, reduction in the number ofnatural spaces employed as refuse landfills. Indirectly, all the above contributes to a better quality of life for citizens andto introduce the concept of sustainability in the construction sector.
