<p>Geopolymer concrete (GPC), consisting of industrial by-products, has the potential to mitigate CO₂ emissions, and the incorporation of Glass Waste Powder (GWP) further leads to performance enhancement and promotes sustainability. The study investigates GPC pavement having 10% GWP under dual curing regimes (ambient and oven curing). Mechanical and Durability characteristics of GPC and GWP incorporated GPC (GWP-GPC) were evaluated via compressive strength, flexural strength, drying shrinkage, carbonation depth, and resistance to chemical attacks. As part of the microstructural evaluation, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were performed, followed by alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and embodied CO₂ calculations. Results highlight that the incorporation of GWP and oven curing significantly increased compressive strength, reaching 46.51&#xa0;N/mm² and flexural strength attaining 7.94&#xa0;N/mm² at 28 days, respectively. In GWP-GPCo (oven-cured) mixes, a value of 1.11 × 10 − 6 strain was observed for drying shrinkage, which was less in comparison to GPC mixes. Similarly, a lower carbonation depth (5.1&#xa0;mm) for GWP-GPCo, better resistance to sulfuric acid, and magnesium sulfate attack were observed. SEM-EDX and FTIR confirmed that inclusion of GWP promotes denser C-A-S-H/N-A-S-H gel formation, improved interfacial transition zone (ITZ), and lower porosity with an embodied CO₂ release of ₂12.42 kgCO2e/m³. The outcomes of the study correlate with SDGs 9,11,12, and 13 by supporting sustainability through this technology. Overall, the study highlights GWP as a sustainable, superior-performance, and promising alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, while supporting circular economy and sustainability goals.</p>
