Noise pollution from traffic is an increasing environmental problem worldwide. The most popular mitigation measure is the control of path by means of construction of noise barriers. Current concrete barrier incorporated with perforated surface infilled with non-mineral fibre sound absorbing material on the highway side are the commonly found. The disadvantage of this type is it’s easily damaged and the non-mineral fibre is so dreadful to human health. On the other hand, palm oil clinker (POC) is a by-product waste material produced in palm oil mills, are currently dump in open land or landfill sites, which leads to environmental problems. POC is internally porous and if it replaces the aggregate in porous concrete it may absorb sound better than standard porous concrete which is the most important characteristic for noise barrier development. This paper discusses how the palm oil clinker substitution will make concrete noise barrier material to be labelled as green and sustainable. A framework for developing green noise barrier made of palm oil clinker concrete will also be presented and discussed.
