Abstract	The comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of recycled versus conventional materials in sustainable architecture highlights the significant environmental benefits of using recycled materials. Various studies assess materials such as recycled concrete, reclaimed wood, recycled steel, and fly ash-based concrete, demonstrating their ability to reduce embodied carbon and environmental impact while maintaining structural integrity. Using tools like SimaPro and Tally, researchers found that buildings incorporating recycled materials achieve a 30-50% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional structures. These findings emphasize the role of recycled materials in lowering greenhouse gas emissions, promoting resource efficiency, and aligning with global sustainability goals.
