Abstract
Ecofriendly, ecoefficient and sustainable civil engineering work has been research with emphasis on
adapting the byproducts of solid waste recycling and reuse to achieving infrastructural activities with low
or zero carbon emission. The direction combustion model, the solid waste incinerator caustic soda oxides
of carbon entrapment model (SWI-NaOH-OCEM) developed by this research has achieved a zero carbon
release. This research adopted the literature search method to put together research results of previous works relevant to the aim of this present work. It has been shown that CO and CO2 emissions
can be contained during the derivation of alternative or supplementary cementing materials used in the
replacement of ordinary Portland cement in civil engineering works. In the overall assessment of the present
review work has left the environment free of the hazards of CO and CO2 emissions. It was shown
that these supplementary cementing materials derived from solid wastes improve the engineering properties
of treated soft clay and expansive soils, concrete, and asphalt. Bio-peels, another form solid waste has
been established as a good detoxificant used in treating wastewater. It has been shown that solid waste
recycling and reuse is a hub to achieving ecofriendly, ecoefficient and sustainable infrastructural development
on the global scale.
