• Industrial-scale production of ceramic pavers with 15 wt% flat glass waste. • Compressive and flexural strengths increased by 42.5% and 70%, respectively. • Glass waste acts as a fluxing agent, enhancing densification and pore closure. • Eco-efficiency analysis shows a 25% reduction in carbon intensity per MPa. • Diverting glass from landfills yields net benefits in human toxicity.
