“…Many companies need massive investment and restructuring, including production, material sourcing and the implementation of new systems for product absorption in order to set up a plastic waste treatment system. Healthy and healthy waste management can be daunting (Cusido, Devant & Arteaga, 1996). Today, waste is a severe problem of the environment worldwide and is very closely related to everyday human life.…”

Garbage is one of the complex problems faced by both developing and developed countries in the world. The waste problem is a common problem and has become a universal phenomenon in various countries in the world. This research uses qualitative research with a descriptive analysis approach. The data used are primary data collected from community-based empowerment activities in the Baruga sub-district, Kendari city. From this research, it can be seen that making eco-bricks can be used as a solution to the use of plastic waste, which is very much in the Baruga sub-district, Kendari City, through creative child empowerment activities. To make products using eco-bricks, glue for PVC plastics is not recommended because the plastic bottles used as eco-bricks are PET plastic, so they are unsuitable if glued with PVC glue.

“…Several researches on the different ecological construction materials have been made by domestic and foreign scholars. In the research by Cusidó et al (1996), it was found that urban underground sewage sludge together with other garbage and clay as the raw materials can be used as a new type of ceramic tiles to replace the traditional clay brick. Andini et al (2008) studied the microstructure and chemical properties of fly ash and pointed out that they could use fly ash to make some lightweight blocks.…”

This article aims at experimentally investigating a cycle behaviour of a new lateral force-resisting structural system, that is, precast composite walls with ecological filled blocks. For this purpose, a total of five low cyclic loading tests were conducted for the 1:2-scaled precast composite wall specimens with five different kinds of ecological filled blocks, namely, the wheat straw fibre raw soil–based block, the recycled expanded polystyrene lightweight concrete block, the wheat straw fibre cement–based block, the autoclaved aerated concrete block and the cotton straw block. In the test, the failure patterns, hysteretic loops, characteristic points, skeleton curves, ductility and relative deformation, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity of the tested specimens were obtained and further analysed. The test results show that (1) the failure modes and mechanisms of the tested specimens are primarily affected by the strength of the filled blocks and the connection performance of the concrete ribbed grids; (2) the filled blocks, ribbed grids and the concealed frame can work cooperatively and interact and they play roles in the three stages of elastic, elastic–plastic, and ultimate destruction in turn; (3) the compressive strength, crack resistance, modulus of elasticity of filled blocks and bonding capacity with the ribbed grids are the main factors affecting the characteristic point, displacement ductility, stiffness degradation and other seismic performance index of the precast composite wall; (4) the five wall specimens have different energy dissipation capacities with the increase of displacement and also have the strong ability to resist collapse, which reflect the precast composite walls’ good behaviour in terms of earthquake resistance.

“…Experiences of waste recycling in industrial processes can be found in several production sectors. The ceramic industry, for instance, makes an important contribution to the recycling of several waste types: urban solid wastewater sludge and sawdust (Cusidò et al 1996), integrated gasification gas combined cycles (IGCC) slag (Acosta et al 2002), and windshield glasses (Mortel & Fuchs 1997) can be used in brick manufacture; fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) and granite sawing residues can enter as components into porcelainized stoneware (Hernàndez‐Crespo & Rincòn 2001). Additionally, bottom ash has properties that make it suitable for use as material in industrial productions, as shown in the review by Reijnders (2005).…”

This article presents the results of an experimental activity aimed at investigating the technical feasibility and the environmental performance of using municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash to produce glass frit for ceramic glaze (glaze frit). The process includes an industrial pretreatment of bottom ash that renders the material suitable for use in glaze frit production and allows recovery of aluminum and iron. The environmental performance of this treatment option is assessed with the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The goal of the LCA study is to assess and compare the environmental impacts of two scenarios of end of life of bottom ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI): landfill disposal (conventional scenario) and bottom ash recovery for glaze frit production (innovative scenario). The main results of the laboratory tests, industrial simulations, and LCA study are presented and discussed, and the environmental advantages of recycling versus landfill disposal are highlighted.
