Gu and ozbakkaloglu conducted an extensive review of the utilization of recycled plastics in concrete from the standpoint of plastic fine aggregate plastic coarse aggregate and plastic fibers.
Recycled plastic fibers in concrete.
Recycled fibers considered in this study are produced by mechanical recycling of industrial plastic wastes such as off cuts and off specification items from diaper industries.
One of the biggest challenges with recycling is plastic.
Broadens readers understanding of the reprocessing of polyolefin waste reviews in detail key recent research into macro plastic fibre reinforced concrete offers key insights into the mechanical properties alkali resistance and reinforcing effects of recycled polypropylene fibre in concrete addresses the environmental assessment of using recycled polypropylene fibre to replace virgin.
With an aim to encourage recycling of plastic wastes our research has produced 100 recycled pp fibers for reinforcing concrete.
Furthermore the morphology of concrete containing plastic materials is described in this paper to explain the influence of plastic aggregates and plastic fibers on the properties of concrete.
Casting concrete with recycled plastic aggregate.
When oil prices dip it becomes cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle exist.
