Reuse of Plastic Waste in Eco-efficient Concrete presents the latest research findings on the application and use of recycled plastic waste in sustainable construction. Divided over four parts, the book's chapters cover various techniques for processing and separation of plastic wastes; use of recycled plastics as aggregates in modified concrete; as well as lightweight reinforced concrete applications too. There is also an entire section dedicated to asphalt mixtures. It also provides technological solutions on how recycled plastic wastes can be applied in concrete manufacturing.
This will be a valuable reference source for academic and industrial researchers who are working with waste materials and the use of recycled plastics in concrete, as well as for civil and structural engineers, polymer production technologists, and concrete manufacturers.
Academic and industrial researchers who are working with waste materials and the use of recycled plastics in concrete, civil and structural engineers, polymer production technologists, practicing engineers in the construction industry, and concrete manufacturers, Postgraduate students in materials science and civil and environmental engineering, government regulatory agencies
