Abstract:
A considerable growth in the consumption of plastic is observed all over the world in recent years, which has led to huge quantities of plastic-related waste. Reprocessing of plastic waste to produce new materials like concrete or mortar appears as one of the best solution for disposing of plastic waste, due to its economic and environmental advantages. The use of plastic granules as fine aggregate seems to be a feasible option. This study deals with replacement of sand with plastic granules made by recycling plastic wastes sourced from scraped PVC pipes, PET bottles, plastic carry bags and then finding out an optimum ratio so as to have a target strength around 10 MPa.
