Abstract- Textile sludge management is a huge problem for its disposal from the textile industry. It has tremendous applications, such as walking paths, street road, and fuel stations, etc. In this manner, an innovative step has been towards the manufacture of paver blocks blended with textile effluent treatment plant sludge to use of it in reasonable extends. A different percentage of sludge starts from 50% to 100% to be taken for this study for the effective utilization of sludge to the construction industry. This thinks about looked for to experience the potential use of as a binding fabric for paving blocks generation. Conventional paver block is cast with full replacement of sand by using M-sand as fine aggregate. Paver blocks consist of textile waste in addition to distinctive proportions was casted according to the recommendation of Indian Standards (IS) 15658 (2006), also the various results were obtained through experimentally and it was compared to the conventional paver block. The different mix combinations outcome reveals that 50% of fine aggregate replacement by effective utilization of textile sludge and waste water from the textile industry. The density and compressive strength of paver blocks were decreased with increase in the percentage of textile sludge and water absorption capacity was increased.
