MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048342 A) filed by J. Sony; Ch. Abilash; B. Vijayakumari; and P. Ajay Yadav, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 16, for 'a sustainable concrete composition using processed ceramic waste as partial replacement for cement and fine aggregate.'

Inventor(s) include J. Sony; Ch. Abilash; B. Vijayakumari; and P. Ajay Yadav.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the development of sustainable concrete by incorporating ceramic waste as a partial replacement for conventional materials. Ceramic waste, sourced from discarded tiles and sanitary ware, is processed through cleaning, crushing, grinding, and sieving to obtain fine aggregate-sized particles and ceramic powder. The ceramic powder is utilized as a partial substitute for cement, while crushed ceramic waste is used as a replacement for natural fine aggregates. The invention aims to reduce environmental impact by minimizing waste disposal and conserving natural resources. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that controlled replacement levels of ceramic waste can maintain or enhance the mechanical strength and durability of concrete. The developed method is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and compatible with conventional concrete production practices, making it suitable for a wide range of construction applications."
