et al.

Abstract: This article investigates the merging of geopolymerization and plastic waste usage, imagining high-performance brick production that couples innovation with sustainability, in an effort to transform the environmental effect of the building sector. This idea is supported by the circular economy, which diverts resources from waste streams into a closed-loop paradigm. By creating inorganic polymers from aluminosilicate-rich sources, the chemical process of geopolymerization provides a paradigm change in the produ… Show more

Plastic waste has become a pressing global issue, posing significant environmental challenges. As the construction industry continues to grow, there is a growing need for sustainable construction materials that can address this problem. This review paper focuses on the transformation of waste into innovation by exploring the use of plastic bricks as sustainable construction materials. The paper examines the manufacturing processes, properties, environmental benefits, challenges, case studies, and future research directions associated with plastic bricks. It highlights the potential of plastic bricks to reduce plastic waste, carbon emissions, and resource consumption. Additionally, the review addresses the challenges related to structural integrity, long-term durability, regulatory compliance, and public perception. Case studies showcase successful implementations of plastic bricks in construction projects, emphasizing their innovative design possibilities, cost-effectiveness, economic feasibility, and notable structural strength. These case studies illustrate that plastic bricks can achieve the necessary strength for construction applications, making them a viable alternative to traditional materials. The paper also discusses the environmental impact and circular economy perspectives of plastic bricks, highlighting their recyclability, reusability, waste management implications, and contribution to circular economy initiatives. Finally, the review concludes with future research directions and recommendations, focusing on advancements in manufacturing techniques, enhanced performance and engineering properties, and long-term performance monitoring and assessment. This comprehensive review sheds light on the transformative potential of plastic bricks as sustainable construction materials and provides insights for addressing the global plastic waste problem.

This extensive experimental research provides strong empirical proof of the revolutionary power of deep learning algorithms when integrated into Industry 5.0. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), and Transformers are a few examples of deep learning algorithms that have shown remarkable accuracy rates of 92.3%, 88.7%, and 95.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the processing durations, which vary between 15 and 25 milliseconds, confirm their ability to make decisions in real time. The abundance of various data accessible in Industry 5.0 is highlighted by data collection sources such as picture databases (300 GB), text corpora (150 GB), equipment records (250 GB), and IoT sensor data (500 GB). The significant energy savings, shown by 20% reductions across a range of machine types, highlight the financial and ecological advantages of deep learning integration. Moreover, the noteworthy improvements in production quality, exhibiting up to 50% reductions in defect rates, highlight the potential of deep learning in quality assurance. These results provide tangible proof of the critical roles deep learning algorithms play in streamlining production lines, increasing energy economy, and boosting product quality in the ever-changing Industry 5.0 environment.
