Abstract: The increasing awareness of glass recycling speeds up inspections on the use of waste glass with different forms in various fields. One of its significant contributions is to the construction field where the waste glass was reused for value-added concrete production. By adding glass aggregate we can reduce the waste and lower the construction cost and helping the environment. When adding colour to the concrete , the concrete gets an aesthetic appearance and also further finishing works likes painting can be avoided. Through this project we are aiming to make a garden chair using coloured  concrete with glass aggregate.

Keywords: Mix design, Recycled glass, Compressive strength, Colour pigment.
