This review provides a comprehensive analysis of fly ash-based geopolymer and the utilization of plastic e-waste in construction applications. Fly ash-based geopolymer is an emerging and sustainable alternative to traditional cement-based materials, offering reduced environmental impact and enhanced mechanical properties. The review explores the composition, manufacturing process, and performance characteristics of fly ash-based geopolymer, including its compressive strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors. Furthermore, the review investigates the potential utilization of plastic e-waste as a supplementary material in geopolymer composites. Plastic e-waste, derived from discarded electronic products, poses significant environmental challenges. However, by incorporating plastic e-waste into geopolymer matrices, it can serve as a valuable resource, enhancing the properties of the geopolymer and promoting the circular economy. The review critically evaluates the existing literature, highlighting the advantages and limitations of fly ash-based geopolymer and the incorporation of plastic e-waste. The influence of different factors, such as fly ash content, alkaline activators, curing conditions, and plastic e-waste particle size, on the mechanical and environmental performance of geopolymer composites is thoroughly examined.
