Sludge is created during a variety of industrial processes, including industrial ceramics. Considering sludge waste is often disposed of in landfills, the expense of treating sludge waste is becoming uneconomical, and landfill area is diminishing. The industrial ceramics sludge has been identified as a potential alternative ingredient in making bricks. In this research, the optimum percentage of ceramic industry sludge incorporation with fired clay is determined according to its physical properties in order to improved compressive strength in fired clay brick. From the result shows that by incorporation of 30% of ceramic sludge into fired clay brick complied with the British Standard (BS) requirement and Eco-Labelling criteria in SIRIM ECO 023:2016 for building material usage. Therefore, ceramic sludge can be material for brick production with appropriate mix and design and as an alternative substitution of reasonable material that offers eco-friendly disposal method.
