Abstract - The construction sector has developed significantly due to the world population's rapid rise and increasing urbanisation, which has resulted in a significant increase in demand for sand and gravel. An alternate source is required to replenish the materials used in concrete because environmental issues arise when the pace of extraction of sand, gravel, and other materials exceeds the rate of creation of natural resources. Electronic items are becoming a necessary component of daily life since they increase comfort, security, and information exchange efficiency.The handling and disposal of these E-Wastes, which frequently contain extremely dangerous substances including lead, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, brominates flame retardants (BFRs), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and phosphorus compounds, also poses significant problems. Therefore, e-waste may be used to create concrete that is sustainable. Additionally, this study offers a thorough literature assessment on the behaviour of concrete when E-Wastes are added. In this study, E-Waste is utilised, and the research is conducted using M30 grade concrete with replacement levels of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. In order to identify the ideal replacement level at which maximum C S and F S is attained, the material's attributes are analysed
KeyWords: Coarse aggregate, Fine aggregate, E-waste, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and flexural strength.
