“…Global sustainability refers to the interactions among humans, societies, and the biosphere on global scale that co-exist and function in harmony to enable productive growth, stability and resilience for current and future generations (Brown et al 1987 ). In its essence, global sustainability considers an inter-related chain of variables that incorporates socio-economic and environmental interactions to potentially create sustainability solutions (Batabyal and Folmer 2020 ; Hull and Liu 2018 ; Liu et al 2015 ; Nodehi and Taghvaee 2021b ). This, in effect, requires a deeper understanding of interconnected effects of such variables (or spillover effects), that evaluates the effect of a given factor in a flow-based system, as opposed to the most commonly considered holistic approaches.…”

The three sustainability pillars of social, environment and economy were initially introduced by the United Nations in 2002, addressing major global sustainability issues including economic problems, income inequality, environmental pollution and social shortcomings. Comparing East Asia & Pacific with North America, there is a growing concern over economic, political and even social competition as a result of recent development and industrialization that is taking place in Asian countries. This might lead to an unhealthy conflict that favors regional independency as opposed to the current globalization and trade facilitation trend. As a result, this study aims to assess the effects of development in three main pillars of sustainability (social, environment and economy) in the East Asia and Pacific on that of North America and vice versa. To estimate this interactive or spillover effects of sustainable development (or sustainability elasticities), our research employs Econometric methodologies including Simultaneous Equations System, Vector AutoRegressive (VAR) and Granger Causality approaches during 1971–2016. The results show that most of the sustainability elasticities are positive between and inside the two regions, supporting the synergetic character of the sustainability spillover effects and confirming constructive role of globalization and openness in the sustainability progress. Based on the results, this research suggests policy-makers to follow cooperative and flow-based governance rather than the placed-based or regional independent thinking that supports integrated sustainable development benefiting not only the two parties but also the overall global sustainability.

“…In that respect, it is reported that about ~ 6% of the world's GDP as well as 30-40% of the total waste generation is associated with construction industry [9,18,19]. Of this large quantity of waste generation, about 20-30% are generally recycled and the rest commonly become landfilled [9,[18][19][20]. In light of this inefficient waste management system, novel concepts such as closed loop economy have been introduced and promoted since the 1970s and 1980s by Stahel [20][21][22] that incorporated a potential circle of production to usage that would minimize waste generation while maximizing resource use [22].…”

Based on this foundation, circular economy is a conceptual system that focuses mainly on de-linearization of the relationship between ecological footprint and economic growth based on 6 principles (6Rs) of Reuse, Recycle, Redesign, Remanufacture, Reduce, Recover [9,22,23] (Fig.…”

Due to constant growth of waste production, recent strategies in waste management such as circular economy promote the maximum life cycle use of materials. In construction industry where structures tend to last for decades, the use of such recycled materials can have numerous benefits including overall reduction in cost, in use of virgin materials, and in CO2 production as well as providing an opportunity for a tailored concrete with specific properties. Yet, because of the stereotypical and negative image of mechanical properties reduction, as a result of using waste materials, often their vast contribution in sustainability and durability properties are not taken into consideration. In this regard, we propose viewing waste materials as secondary raw materials that in certain regards, can provide a favorably tailored property. In this regard, the following review article first provides a short description of the most commonly used waste materials such as supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaolin, rice husk ash, municipal solid waste ash, steel slag, copper slag), ceramics from construction and demolition (glass powder, brick and tile ceramic and porcelain), and the vastly available plastic materials (polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, and rubber). Then, by reviewing a selected environmental impact (life cycle assessment), physicochemical, durability, and finally mechanical properties discuss the limitations, future projections of newer waste materials (e.g., agricultural waste) to be used and suggest potential future study in this area.

“…At present, the research on waste glass concrete, on both national and international levels, is mainly divided into the following parts: In the first group of studies, the ground glass is used as concrete fine aggregate [1][2][3][4][5], while in the second, it is used as inert filling material in concrete [6,7]; the third theme of research is to produce cement as cement clinker, and in the fourth, cement is partially replaced as an auxiliary cementitious material [8][9][10]. It is found that when waste glass is used as aggregate, the mechanical properties of concrete are reduced, mainly due to the existence of a weak interface [11,12].…”

“…At first, a large number of researchers mainly devoted themselves to the study of waste glass in concrete aggregate for a long time [3][4][5]. Due to the alkali in cement and a large amount of active silica in glass, which leads to considerable alkali-aggregate reaction and expansion damage of concrete [10] and thus has made the research stagnant.…”

The suppression of ASR expansion hazards of glass concrete has always been a key and hot issue in the research of glass concrete. According to the ASTM C1260-14 fast mortar rod method, glass sand and glass powder act as fine aggregate and auxiliary cementing material, respectively. The changes in expansion rate with different amounts of glass sand content and different particle sizes of glass powder in mortar rods were compared, and the effects of glass sand content and the glass powder particle size on the expansion of ASR were analyzed. SEM was used to compare and analyze the microstructure of mortar rods to explore the mechanism of ASR expansion of glass concrete, and the results showed that the addition of glass powder had a certain inhibitory effect on ASR expansion. The larger the particle size of glass powder was, the better the inhibition effect on ASR expansion and the longer its duration. Compared with the three groups of experiments of 0–13 μm, 13–38 μm, and 38–75 μm, it was found that the influence of the glass powder particle size on the expansion of ASR was weaker than that of dosage. The inhibitory effect of glass powder on ASR expansion is related to the fact that glass powder is more involved in pozzolanic reaction in the early hydration process.
