  • Abstract: The brick industry, a vital sector for construction, significantly contributes to environmental degradation through high energy consumption, emissions, and the unsustainable use of natural resources. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the existing policy framework aimed at promoting environmental protection within the brick industry. It explores key regulations, guidelines, and strategies implemented globally and regionally to mitigate the industry's environmental impact. By analyzing the effectiveness of these policies, the paper identifies gaps and challenges in their enforcement and offers recommendations for strengthening regulatory measures. The review emphasizes the role of technology, innovation, and sustainable practices in reducing the carbon footprint of brick manufacturing. Ultimately, this paper aims to inform policy-makers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates on best practices to balance the growth of the brick industry with environmental sustainability.
