The main data on the production volume of bottles from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the world are presented. The main ways of handling used PET bottles as one of the hazardous types of waste for the environment, but promising from the point of view of using their properties, are analyzed. The main methods of handling used PET bottles are considered and a critical analysis of each of them is given. Particular attention is paid to the methods of recycling PET bottles, which made it possible to efficiently use recycled PET raw materials directly for their intended purpose. The features of physical, chemical, biological and combined processing methods are also considered, in particular, combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, plasma decomposition of PET bottles, as well as their decomposition under the influence of microorganisms. The main ways of solving the problem of used PET bottles are proposed. Bibl. 84, Fig. 1.

Environmental studies have been concerned about the growth of plastic pollution in different ecosystems during the last decades, trying to raise awareness of the current and near-long-term situation. That is why different researchers have proposed the reuse of solid plastic waste, reincorporating it as a material within the construction area, using it as an “aggregate” in concrete mixtures for different types of uses that it provides, being one of the materials most used in the construction industry. The work presents the differences in how to reuse different types of recycled plastics as material/aggregate in concrete production, the experiments to which different samples were subjected, and their results. This paper is divided into five sections. The first section consists of a brief presentation of the types of plastics, their uses, and how they have been used in experiments in different laboratory tests. The following two sections address the properties provided by the use of recycled plastic in concrete mixtures in both fresh and hardened states. The fourth section focuses on the existing approaches in patents within the same topic, which are annexed. Then, we move on to the fifth section, discussing the contradictions and implications of producing concrete with recycled plastic.

Evaluating the Thermal Behavior of a Sustainable Room and Roof Prototype Using Recycled Waste Materials

et al. 2020

This work shows a proposed room prototype and its thermal behavior evaluation. The room was built by using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles filled with soil from the site for its walls and a roof made of multiple layers of reused materials. The construction had a green roof and skylights that were constructed out of upcycled entire glass bottles. Thermal measurements were made indoors and outdoors over the course of one year. Temperature and humidity sensors were used for internal measurements, and, at the same time, a reference sensor recorded data that corresponded to external environmental conditions. The constructed building differed by an average of 8.5 °C from the reference measurements of the external environment and an average of 24.24% in relative humidity. Thermograms were taken from the outside walls, which reached 54.2 °C, while internal wall temperatures reached 25.5 °C. Additionally, a thermal transfer simulation of the prototype was accomplished by using COMSOL Multiphysics. Simulation results approximated the experimental data. The prototype had low daily thermal fluctuations, which was considered a desirable thermal behavior. These results, along with the self-building practices, low costs, and reuse of waste materials, makes this kind of building a potentially feasible alternative.
