The effective solution to solve this problem is to recycle these post consumer PET bottles into unsaturated polyester resin. Thermoset resins are quite expensive compared to Portland cement based materials. Recycling of PET bottles was done by glycolysis. The production of the unsaturated polyester resin based on recycled PET was done in two steps.
— One of the environmental issues in most regions of Iran is the large number of bottles made from poly-ethylene terephthalate (PET) deposited in domestic wastes and landfills. Due to the high volume of these bottles, more than 1 million m3 landfill
terephthalate (PET) bottles and found tensile splitting strength of concrete mixtures decreased with increase in PET aggregates. Also, by (Siddique et al. 2008) tensile splitting strength of concrete mixtures decreased with the increase in PET aggregates but for a particular PET aggregate content (25% and 50%)
Re-Use of Hospital Plastic Waste in Asphalt Mixes as Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate () ... Nevertheless, sensitivity analyses revealed less deterioration of plastic aggregate concrete, when subjected to progressively drier curing regimes. ... (2010) Recycling of PET Bottles as Fine Aggregate in Concrete. Waste Management, 30, 1101-1106.
for mixing with other variants like concrete, bitumen etc.The development of concrete with nonconventional aggregate, such as polystyrene foam wastes, HDPE, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and other plastic materials has been investigated for use in concrete in order to improve the properties of the concrete and reduce cost.
This paper describes the experimental investigation of relationship between splitting tensile strength and flexural strength with the compressive strength of concrete containing waste PET as fine aggregates replacement. Waste PET was reprocesses and used as the artificial fine aggregate at the replacement volume of 25%, 50% and 75%, Cylindrical ...
In this research, the concrete made from plastic waste as coarse aggregates were investigated for compressive strength and Stress-strain relationship. Plastic coarse aggregate have been replaced in place of natural coarse aggregate by different percentages with w/c 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3.
Large efforts have been made in the concrete industry to use waste glass as partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregates and cement. Glass is an ideal material for recycling. The use of the recycled glass as aggregate in concrete has become popular in modern times.
traditional concrete in case of replacing 45% of natural aggregate by PET aggregate. No significant changes are observed for mixtures containing up to 15% of PET-aggregates in compressive strength results, for 30% and 45% PET replacement there is a noticeable reduction in compressive strength up to 11% and 24% respectively.

This behaviour is dependent on PET-aggregate's shape and is maximised for concrete containing coarse, flaky PET-aggregate. The splitting tensile and flexural strength characteristics are proportional to the loss in compressive strength of concrete containing plastic aggregates.

The fresh and hardened properties of waste virgin plastic mix concrete have been studied (CUR Report 1991). A number of concrete mixes were prepared in which sand was partially replaced by waste plastic flakes in varying percentages by volume. Waste plastic mix concrete with and without superplasticizer was tested at room temperature. Forty-eight cube samples were moulded for compressive ...
Casting Concrete With Recycled Plastic Aggregate: One of the biggest challenges with recycling is plastic. There's not much of a market for scrap plastic, so the profit margins on processing and reselling it are slim. When oil prices dip, it becomes cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle exi...
This paper presents the experimental results of recycled coarse aggregate concrete and results are compared with the natural crushed aggregate concrete. The fine aggregate used in the concrete, i.e. recycled and conventional is 100 percent natural. The recycled aggregate are collected from four sources all demolished structures.
waste PET bottles as the partial replacement of aggregate in Portland cement. Concrete with 1%, 2%, 4% and 6% PET bottle fibres for fine aggregate were produced and compared against control mix with no replacement. Cube specimens, cylinder specimens and prism specimens of 18 numbers each were cast, cured and tested for 7 day and 28 days strength.
This study deals with the possibility of using the waste PET bottle with aspect ratio 33 and percentage added into concrete with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% respectively as replacement of fine aggregate ...
They have worked on the use of pulverized plastic in concrete as partial replacement of fine aggregate and use of waste plastic in concrete as partial replacement of coarse aggregate. Testing was conducted on the samples casted by using plastic waste in the laboratory to study the variation of concrete properties from normal concrete.
In the present study, PET and HDPE plastic were collected from the left-out water bottles and plastic containers, and then cut them down into flakes to be used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregates in the concrete mix.
There are many recycling plants across the world, but as plastics are recycled they lose their strength with the number of recycling. So these plastics will end up as earth fill. In this circumstance instead of recycling it repeatedly, if it is utilized to prepare aggregates for concrete, it will be a boon to the construction industry.
Can’t we just put the bottles through a grinder and use the unwashed pieces to replace some of the stones, not sand? A lot of concrete is used building roads (under the asphalt). Don’t grind it too fine when it would be hard to control, we don’t want it to end up in our waterways.
Plastic bottle caps can be harmful to the environment if not properly recycled, but many Connecticut recycling facilities differ on their bottle cap policies. Most threaded (or screw-top) plastic bottle caps, typically from soda and shampoo bottles, squeeze bottles with flip-top lids, peanut butter containers, and laundry detergent bottles, are ...

derivable from its application. Furthermore, the effects of recycling PET plastic bottle wastes produced in North Central Nigeria in bituminous asphaltic concrete (BAC) used in flexible pavement construction were also evaluated. The mix design consists of 60/70 penetration-grade asphaltic concrete (5%), 68% coarse aggregate, 6% fine
In studies performed by [6], it was used PET bottles to obtain fibers for reinforcement, aiming to improve concrete ductility. Results showed an improvement of PET fiber reinforced concrete tenacity. The fibers were obtained using simple cuts in PET bottles, with no processing, in a simple way, reducing production costs.
