Recycling thermoset plastic waste for manufacturing green cement mortar

Potential Applications of Different Forms of Recycled Plastics as Construction Materials—A Review

“…The majority of the studies on recycled plastic from the perspective of construction materials use it in aggregates. The authors of [19] investigated the use of thermoset plastic as a 5% replacement for fine particles to develop eco-friendly cement mortar. It was observed that the composition resulted in the highest compressive strength, with a dense microstructure and a robust interfacial transition zone.…”

“…E-wastes, also referred as electronic wastes, originate from discarded or obsolete electronic and electrical devices, equipment, and components and are used in various forms in the construction industry [17]. These e-wastes are often recycled and incorporated into cementitious composites in the form of plastic aggregates [18,19]. Aggregates from recycled plastics have been utilized extensively as an ingredient by researchers for investigations of flexible pavements [20].…”

A medical waste X-ray film based triboelectric nanogenerator for self-powered devices, sensors, and smart buildings

“…There are various alternative ways of utilizing plastic waste that can help reduce pollution and its impact on the environment. One approach is to recycle plastic waste and use it to manufacture new products [7][8][9][10] and new functional materials. [11][12][13][14] Another option is to convert plastic waste into fuel through a process called pyrolysis.…”

Feasibility of stone slurry powder and admixtures in cement mortar

“…One of the solutions is to reuse and recycle the industrial by-products in the construction industry since this huge industry absorbs large amounts of materials. This approach is sustainable as it utilizes industrial waste, to a certain extent, and reduces construction costs (Devi et al, 2018a;Chen et al, 2023;Jahangir et al, 2023;Kontoni et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2023;Marinelli et al, 2023;Onyelowe et al, 2022;Devi et al, 2019Devi et al, , 2022. The addition of marble slurry in concrete reduces its environmental impact (Singh et al, 2017); the incorporation of marble powder in cement mortar and concrete also reduces other negative impacts (Khodabakhshian et al, 2018).…”
