This study aims to explore the potential of producing eco-bricks from alternative raw materials, namely sugarcane bagasse and shells. The use of sugarcane bagasse and shells as basic materials for brick production promises an innovative solution to reduce environmental impact and utilize agricultural waste that is often overlooked. The research methodology involves stages of raw material collection, brick development processes, and analysis of the physical properties and strength of the resulting products. The process of making eco-bricks from sugarcane bagasse and shells will be evaluated based on structural strength and other physical properties. The results of this study show new insights into the development of environmentally friendly and quality brick production technology. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the economic aspects of sugarcane bagasse production could serve as a foundation to motivate industry players to adopt sustainable construction methods in their production activities. Therefore, this research has the potential to make a positive contribution to agricultural waste management and the development of a more robust sustainable construction industry.
