A Review on Different Forms and Types of Waste Plastic used in Concrete Structure for Improvement of Mechanical Properties

Abstract

How to dispose the solid waste is a major problem for every country in the world. It is important to take immediate action on how to reduce the plastic waste as a strategy in solid waste management, especially from inorganic materials since it is essential to the welfare of the society and the environment. There are tons of plastics disposal around the world and until now has not yet optimize discover or recycle for engineering usage. The quantities of disposal plastics are growing day by day and it takes hundreds of years for plastics material to degrade. Scientific research now has used the recycling approach by producing useful substances from the recycle plastic as a secondary strategy to replace natural substance. The reuse of plastic wastes plays an important role in sustainable solid waste management to help saving natural resources that are not replenished, it decreases the pollution of the environment and it also helps to save and recycle energy production processes. This paper presents an overview and discussing of published research paper regarding different form and types of recycle plastic used in concrete structure. The influence of waste plastic materials on the properties of concrete are also reviewed and presented in this paper.
