“…This represents an opportunity for recycling, since plastic waste may be used in home construction [5], such as recycled polymer concrete for walls, given that both types of polymers in question improve the thermal properties of concrete blocks [6]. Thus, the composite of concrete together with PET or PS, to create blocks with thermal insulation, serves to reduce excess waste from PET or PS, when recycled to make such improved products [7].…”

The aim of this paper is to review the literature on Materials science to identify the current research and to provide direction for future research in thermal properties of the concrete block composite, either with Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) or Polystyrene (PS), presenting the opportunity to make an important methodological contribution by applying systematic review in three areas of Materials science: Composites, Building Materials, as well as Testing and Evaluation of Materials. This is a growing interdisciplinary field since there are no current comparative papers addressing both PET and PS in the same research for concrete composites. Papers investigating to what extent, what type and how academic publications are integrated on the analysis of the characteristics of the two recycled polymers (PET and PS), to improve the thermal properties of the concrete block and contribute to the research of sustainable thermal comfort in homes. They were reviewed, keywords were identified within a framework of composites, building materials, as well as testing and evaluation of materials, and a lexical analysis of the papers was conducted. The results of current research show that both forms of recycling (PS and PET), combined with concrete, have sustainability in thermal comfort. The analysis reveals that previous research has focused on PET-Concrete (i.e., concrete-PET polymer composite) since it is more viable, due to its large amount of recycling. While this has benefited home builders in their ability to respond with some thermal comfort with higher construction efficiency, it also clarifies that there has been research done on PS-Concrete (i.e., concrete-PS polymer composite), presenting greater thermal comfort, because it has lower thermal conductivity. This finding suggests the need for further research within this narrow field, with absence of data, since most prescriptive recommendations have not been tested and lack practical applications, which is why the need for more empirical and experimental studies are identified. Based on the novelty of the PET or PS recycling concepts, we highlight the need of better collaboration between academic disciplines, such as engineering and architecture to provide better experimental evidence for recycling of polymers, including empirical approaches for the different types of composites and aggregate distributions, which can be made with concrete to improve thermal insulation performance and energy savings for manufacturers.

“…Figure 8. Compressive strength at 28-day [37] Waroonkun et al ( 2017) [38] produced bricks with cement/aggregate (sand and plastic) ratios between 1:1 -1:6, water/binder ratio of 0.5, 0.7 and 1. The mixture which containing cement/aggregate= 1:3 and water/binder= 1:2 ratios together with 80% sand and 20% WP has been shown to provide optimum compressive strength to produce a concrete block to be used to construct a non-load bearing wall.…”

Traditional bricks are made of clay or cement. However, it has environmental deficiencies as causing high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission. In addition, excessive and senseless use of non-renewable natural resources around the world causes social, economic and environmental damages. For these reasons, researchers have used several waste materials in brick production to contribute to sustainable development by optimizing environment-material-economy. In this study, the latest papers in the literature on the use of waste rubber (WR) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in brick production are presented. In particular, its thermal and sound insulation properties are examined. The literature review reveals the potential of the raw materials to be replaced by WR and PET when the manufactured bricks meet the standards.

“…The development of the construction sector imposes the finding of some solutions of using cheaper materials, locally, considering the magnitude of the sector, it requires the consumption of natural aggregates, binders, armatures, etc., which are difficult to ensure from traditional sources [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. It must equally be ensured that the exigencies (safety, durability) must be met throughout the entire life span of the construction [1,2,[10][11][12].…”

“…In reinforcing concrete, fibers are increasingly used because they provide control of the cracking process and increase the resistance to impact, shocks and temperature variations [1,2,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Fibers can be used in the preparation of concrete for different building elements, including rigid concrete structure, pedestrian and concrete pavements and borders, support walls or bulwark foundations, but they are starting to be used more and more in the production of prefabricated [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Woven fiber reinforced concrete is a material, which contains various quantities of polymer materials in composition, in addition to the conventional components of an ordinary concrete (mineral binder - cement, aggregates, water and additives). The present work refers to the concrete in which the reinforcement is made of polymeric materials (polyethylene terephthalate), originated from the recycling programs of PET-type packaging. The experimental program was aimed at constructing some samples of woven fiber reinforced concrete from recycled material coming from PET packaging wastes, their testing to the compression demands and the comparison of results with the characteristics of the standardized samples of concrete (class C30/37). Based on a sufficient number of determinations, certain correlations can be established between the compressive strength of the concrete at 28 days depending on the dosage of components (aggregate, binder, and reinforcement), water / cement ratio, reinforcement volume, etc., essential parameters from a compositional point of view. These correlations, customized by cement type and strength class, are very important to determine - with approximation - to what dosage of components (aggregate, binder, reinforcement) the respective level of compressive strength of concrete is obtained.
