The potential use of crushed waste glass as a sustainable alternative
As an example, the construction of a medium-sized house requires 200 tonnes of sand; a hospital needs 3000 tonnes of sand, and each kilometre of highway construction needs 30,000 tonnes of sand (WACA, 2018). Studies show that sand is currently being extracted at a rate far greater than its renewal (Peduzzi, 2014).Web
