“…Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles are nonbiodegradable substance brings quite problematic because it stays longer in the environment [3]. Bottle waste in food and beverage industries already constitute about 10% of total municipal solid waste [4]. Moreover, PET bottles can produce uncontrolled fire or contaminate the soil and vegetation if the materials be disposed by dumping or burning [5][6].…”

Abstract. This research focuses on the performance of composite sand cement brick containing recycle concrete aggregate and waste polyethylene terephthalate. This study aims to determine the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and water absorption of composite brick containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. The bricks specimens were prepared by using 100% natural sand, they were then replaced by RCA at 25%, 50% and 75% with proportions of PET consists of 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% by weight of natural sand. Based on the results of compressive strength, only RCA 25% with 0.5% PET achieve lower strength than normal bricks while others showed a high strength. However, all design mix reaches strength more than 7N/mm 2 as expected. Besides that, the most favorable mix design that achieves high compressive strength is 75% of RCA with 0.5% PET.

“…The two directions that emerged in practice and research are utilisation of the raw plastic granulate as partial substitute for sand aggregate [1][2][3][4][5] whereby concrete is used as a medium for disposal of polymer waste (in the amounts that do not significantly affect its strength) and the other is the use of processed resins for production of polymer concrete [6,7]. However, knowing that concrete reinforced with commercially available steel or poly-propylene (PP) fibres is a more resilient building material than plain concrete [8,9], another promising option is recycling of plastic for production of fibres to be used as secondary reinforcement for concrete along the traditional steel rebars.…”

This work investigates potential engineering benefits of the pioneering application of simply extruded recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic fibres in structural concrete. Mechanical and serviceability properties of concrete are studied through the testing of seven series of specimens: one made of the plain concrete and, for each of the two fibre diameters Ø 1 = 0.25 mm and Ø 2 = 0.40 mm, three series with 0.40%, 0.75% and 1.25% volume fraction of fibres. While the compressive strength and the elastic modulus of concrete were unaffected, the tensile strength and flexural (rupture) modulus were marginally increased, between 3% and 14% in the presence of HDPE fibres. Fibres mainly contributed by providing the post-cracking flexural ductility and through improving serviceability properties of concrete such as the reduced plastic shrinkage cracking, drying shrinkage and water permeability. The durability of HDPE fibres was assessed by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging that showed no signs of their chemical deterioration in concrete. All findings suggest that recycled HDPE fibres can be instrumental in creating a new value chain in construction industry while also positively contributing to its environmental performance.

Abstract-In general, the quantity of plastics of all types consumed annually all over the world has been growing in a phenomenal way. The manufacturing processes, service industries and municipal solid wastes (MSW) generate numerous waste plastic materials. The increasing awareness about the environment has tremendously contributed to the concerns related with disposal of the generated wastes. It is believed that the management of solid waste is one of the major environmental concerns in the world. Due to limited space on landfills and increasing costs of plastics, utilization of waste plastics has become an attractive alternative for disposal. This paper provides a summary of experimental efforts on the utilization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in civil engineering projects, mainly in road pavement, cements and concretes. Presented data indicate that use of waste PET for modification of asphalt, cement and concretes improved their selected properties, which makes economical this approach. Furthermore, using of waste PET in building materials reduce usage of new polymeric materials, which has significant effect on environment pollution (e.g. emission of carbon dioxide, waste disposal problems, etc.) Index Terms-Bitumen, building materials, concrete, PET, recycling.
