This paper examines the tribological behaviour of environmentally friendly brake pad materials, such as rice husk (RH) and rice husk ash (RHA). Using the AK Master test in a brake tribometer, two formulations with 6% RH and 6% RHA are contrasted using a formulation of reference including alumina. The outcomes demonstrate that, especially in high-temperature situations, the formulation including RHA performs on par with or better than the referred material. RH decreases abrasive action, resulting in a more uniform tribofilm on the disc. The study demonstrates how bio-based and naturally produced materials may be used to solve environmental issues, investigate life cycle analysis consequences, and build eco-friendly brake friction composites. It is also shown that it is feasible to include brake pad waste (BPW) in asphalt mixes to improve pavement performance and lessen environmental effect. All things considered, the study offers insightful information on the performance evaluation of environmentally sustainable green friction brake pad materials.
