“…The results show that the addition of polymeric material in a fraction less than 10% in the volume of cement matrix does not imply a significant variation in the mechanical properties of cement. However, the density and compression strength of cement decreased when the percentage of polyethylene aggregate exceeds 50% by volume as well as when the weight of normal concrete had been reduced [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Nowadays, overpopulation and rapid development of industries and lifestyle lead to an increase in the consumption of natural resources and reduction of their resource. On the other hand, humans have always produced waste and disposed it in some way, which influence the environment. Therefore, the increase in waste that was generated by the industrial factories and the human activities needs to be managed. For this reason, scientists have discovered new types of engineering that include sustainable engineering and green engineering to reduce energy and natural resource consumptions. The main goal of this chapter is to explain the main advantages of sustainable manufacturing process and their effects in minimizing or eliminating production and processing wastes through eco-efficient practices, and it encourages adopting new environmental technologies. Therefore, this chapter offers a short introduction about sustainability, sustainable manufacturing process, solid-state management, and two case studies that include experimental works for recycling plastic waste and nonferrous waste materials by using sustainable solid waste recycling process to reduce waste and eliminate its influence on the environment.

“…Batayneh et al reported a decreasing trend of flexural strength with increasing plastic waste aggregate content in the concrete [7]. Saikia and de Brito [13] also found lower flexural strength values for concrete containing PET aggregate than for concrete containing natural aggregate only.…”

“…While the use of an SCM or AA could improve certain concrete properties, it might simultaneously compromise some other properties (Batayneh et al, 2007;Berry et al, 2011;Sabai et al, 2013;Siddique et al, 2008;Yang et al, 2005). This is partially due to the presence of so many concrete properties, e.g., workability, compressive strength, tensile/flexural strength, and durability.…”

“…For example, recycling and reusing wastes requires extra labor and energy input (e.g., for crushing old concrete), and may also incur additional transportation cost compared to the use of virgin materials such as gravel (Batayneh et al, 2007;Meyer, 2009). Also, the construction and building products industries are conservative due to fear of product failure.…”

Abstract:The wide use of concrete in construction has significantly impacted energy use and environmental quality. Fortunately, the emergence of sustainable concrete, made with alternative or recycled waste materials, offers great opportunities to improve concrete sustainability. This paper studies the current status of sustainable concrete production in the U.S. through a questionnaire survey. It revealed that the surveyed companies varied largely in their recognition and adoption of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and alternative aggregates (AAs). Of the various alternative materials available, the most widely used by survey participants were limited to the three SCMs (fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume) and two types of aggregates (lightweight and recycled concrete aggregates). Multiple benefits and barriers to the adoption of SCMs and AAs, e.g., concrete properties, cost, and local availability, were also disclosed by survey participants. Statistical comparisons identified differences in sustainable concrete production between ready mixed concrete suppliers and concrete prefabricators, as well as in its applications in structural and nonstructural concrete components. The findings provide a better understanding of the U.S. sustainable concrete production and offer insights into how researchers can help address industry concerns about the implementation of sustainable concrete.
