Waste thermoplastics, such as polycarbonates (PC), polystyrenes (PS), mixed plastic, as well as sand, ash and regular Portland cement in varying proportions, were used in the construction of bricks. The proportion of thermoplastic was 0–10% by weight, sand was 60–70% by weight, and the...
restored (retrofitted/renovated), or demolished. They can also be interchangeably referred to as construction and demolition (C&D) wastes [1]. Globally, CRD waste is the most significant waste stream by volume [2]. In the residential sector, renovation is the highest contributor to ...
Over the last decades, plastic waste (PW) has increased exponentially and has become a serious threat to our planet, aquatic system and human health. Recycling or reusing PW in producing ecofriendly materials is an efficient solution to reduce plastic pollution and to minimize the depletion of ra...
Scarcity of traditional construction materials has motivated researchers to explore alternatives, and besides crushed glass, reclaimed asphalt pavement, and scrap tires, to name a few, plastic waste (unwanted or unusable plastic objects) has also gained attention in recent years. Plastic waste is tradi...
Project.DWG and LOOS.FM have unveiled their PET pavilion, a temporary structure in a community park in The Netherlands that focuses on issues of sustainable building, recycling, and waste by rethinking the ways that buildings are developed, built, and used. Specifically, the pavilion is a study...
MacRebur cleans and sorts the plastic and then grinds the waste into flakes or pellets. The plan is for this part of the process to be carried out in the localities where roads are being laid or repaired, so that local waste is used to produce local roads. Each mix can contain 20 or...
And according to a2014 study, wild bees in Canada have joined theeffort, using bits of plastic waste to build their nests.These tiny insects can't recycle nearly enoughplastic to put a significant dent in the problem. Still,their resourceful use of plastic illustrates howwidespread plastic ...

Cooperation and Development in 2022 projected that by 2060, the annual global production of plastic products could soar to around 1.2 billion tonnes, nearly tripling the current levels. The study warns that if recycling rates do not improve, the volume of plastic waste could also nearly triple ...
