Textile industries have produced wastewater in the large amount. Most of textile industries will generate sludge as a byproduct. Many of sludge are disposed in landfill area, which may cause groundwater contamination due to the containing of hazardous and toxic material. Recently processing and sludge treatment that is creating valuable product and environmental friendly is good trend in solid waste management. One possibility of the sludge utilization is a raw material for construction and building material. The objection of this research is to investigate the possibility of textile waste sludge as the clay alternate for brick production. Mixing natural clay and textile waste sludge with various proportions will be discussed in this research. Comprehensive strength and water absorption will be analyzed as the parameter of quality testing of brick specimen.
