E-Plastic Waste Use as Coarse-Aggregate in Concrete

Circulating the E-Waste Recovery from the Construction and Demolition Industries: A Review

“…Particles can be shredded more than once to achieve the mentioned range of particle sizes [48]. Semiyaga et al (2023) analysed and showed that the particles from the shredder were grouped into different particle sizes using a sieve. Particles can go through multiple shredders to achieve the desired size, which will enable the next process steps to occur [49].…”

“…Semiyaga et al (2023) analysed and showed that the particles from the shredder were grouped into different particle sizes using a sieve. Particles can go through multiple shredders to achieve the desired size, which will enable the next process steps to occur [49]. Ardente and Mathieux et al ( 2014) analysed e-waste management and showed that the recoverability rate is important at the incineration stage.…”

“…For the shredding process, three sources were used, and in Evram et al (2020) and Semiyaga et al (2023), both articles reveal particle size as a key parameter [47][48][49]. The shredding process resulted in materials with particle sizes ranging between 0 and 20 mm, meaning some materials were shredded to powder form.…”

“…This large range enables further processing of the materials to determine their type, i.e., plastics and metals. The same sources also look at other parameters, such as the fineness modulus of plastic that has been shredded to powder form [49].…”
