Abstract
Fly-ash geopolymer composites are an exciting advancement in eco-friendly construction materials. Nowadays, the fly ash, has turned into a sustainable alternative to regular cement with the approach addresses critical concerns in construction, such as high energy use, excessive carbon emissions, and the challenge of managing industrial waste. In this comprehensive review, the brief discussion on how fly-ash geopolymer composites could transform construction practices and reduce their impact on the environment. The construction industry is a major contributor to climate change due, whereas the industrial byproducts like fly ash can also be an environmental challenge. Thus, the fly-ash geopolymer composites offer an innovative solution by reusing this waste to create environmentally friendly binding materials. Fly ash can effectively replace traditional cement in construction, improving the durability and sustainability of buildings.. By reducing our reliance on regular cement, these composites could revolutionise construction practices across various industries. Developing and widely adopting fly ash geopolymer composites could bring substantial benefits. It could significantly reduce the construction industry's carbon footprint and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. Additionally, by ongoing research aims to enhance the strength, heat resistance, and chemical durability of these composites, further promoting sustainable construction and supporting a circular economy by turning industrial waste into valuable construction materials.
