Plastic waste, recyclable material, new materials, friendly materials, construction material.Abstract
The inclusion of materials that are difficult to degrade, such as Plastic Waste (PW), has been the subject of study in recent years. Ways of reusing this material have been found, and new and different ways of including these materials, such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) in coarse and fine aggregates, have been observed in them, in the form of aggregates, plastic fibers and fused at high temperatures with natural aggregates, excellent hygrothermal behavior, outstanding compressive and flexural strengths, acceptable ductility among other characteristics were obtained, likewise in similar studies with the inclusion of Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), In similar studies with the inclusion of Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP), mixtures of PET with another variety of PW and with other materials of difficult degradation other than PW were observed, where important results were highlighted, likewise studies of materials with inclusion of PW in the manufacture of laminates have been reported, others such as fired and unfired bricks with certain inclusions of PW such as Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), here are presented fusions of crushed glass with PW that show significant mechanical results, as presented in clayey soils stabilized with these PW and those found with the use of Recycled Plastic Pins (RPP) for slope and embankment stabilization.
