CorrosionCorrosion remainsCoatings aGlass waste critical issue in industrial environments, leading to severe structural degradation and significant economic losses, especially in sectors such as offshore oil platforms and pipelines exposed to harsh, corrosive conditions. Protective coatingsCoatings, including structural paints and pipe linings, are commonly used to extend the service life of metallic structures. Epoxy resinEpoxy resin stands out for its excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and cost-effectiveness; however, its non-recyclable nature poses sustainabilitySustainability challenges. To address this, the present study investigates an eco-friendly compositeComposites developed by incorporating fine glass wasteGlass waste particles into the epoxy matrix. This approach aims to reduce the environmental footprint of conventional coatingsCoatings while maintaining or improving their protective performance. Incorporation of glass wasteGlass waste up to 20 vol% did not compromise the mechanical propertiesMechanical properties, confirming the feasibility of this sustainable alternative. Overall, the proposed strategy promotes resource efficiency and aligns with circular economy and green engineering principles.
