It had been a common practice in the ancient communities to reuse valuable left over materials, e.g. metals and building materials from deconstruction of previous thing or property. But the “use-and-throw-away” philosophy had led to depletion of natural resources and pollution of world. This paper presents the use of Recycled Coarse Aggregate and Recron 3S in Concrete to be used for general building construction- residential, commercial and industrial. Replacing Natural Coarse Aggregate (NCA) with Recycled Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste Aggregate and adding Recron-3S synthetic fibre. Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) replaces NCA by 40% and adding Recron 3S in 0.125% , 0.25% in concrete. The use of RCA from the C & D waste proposes to be a win-win-win situation, as instead of creating big landfill, saving of natural physical topography and reducing the production of Carbon dioxide by half. The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with Recron 3S fibre in construction industry.
