      abstract = {The increasing demand for sustainable construction materials has spurred research into the use of industrial waste products, such as pulverized glass bottles, in concrete and mortar applications. This study investigates the synergistic effects of pulverized glass bottles (PGB) and mix design variations on the mechanical properties of sustainable mortar. PGB was incorporated as a partial replacement for fine aggregates, with mechanical performance evaluated through compressive and flexural strength tests. Results indicate that compressive strength was significantly influenced by the water-cement (W/C) ratio and mix proportions. The 1:3 mix with a 0.6 W/C ratio achieved the highest compressive strength (16.30 N/mm?), surpassing the control mix (14.54 N/mm?). However, in the 1:6 mix, the control mortar (9.62 N/mm?) outperformed the glass mortar (7.52 N/mm?) at a 0.5 W/C ratio. Flexural strength trends mirrored those of compressive strength, favoring the 0.6 W/C ratio. Cement paste achieved the highest flexural strength (8.00 N/mm?), exceeding the control (7.67 N/mm?) and glass mortar (5.67 N/mm?) in the 1:3 mix. In leaner mixes, such as the 1:6 ratio, the control mortar (4.00 N/mm?) outperformed the glass mortar (3.00 N/mm?).The findings highlight the potential of PGB to reduce waste and contribute to sustainable construction practices, with optimal performance observed at 10%?20% replacement levels. However, the reduction in flexural strength in leaner mixes underscores the importance of optimizing mix designs and W/C ratios. This study demonstrates that balancing sustainability with structural performance is achievable, paving the way for the broader adoption of PGB in construction applications.},
