Strategies for Waste Recycling: The Mechanical Performance of Concrete Based on Limestone and Plastic Waste

Recycling is among the best management strategies to avoid dispersion of several types wastes in environment. Research recycling gaining increased importance view Circular Economy principles. The exploitation waste, or byproducts, as alternative aggregate concrete, results a reduction scarce natural resources. On other hand, productive use waste leads landfilling material through transformation into resource. In this frame reference, paper discusses how concrete container focusing on produced limestone quarries and taking challenge introducing plastic ordinary mixes. To prove possibility reaching objective with acceptable loss performance, mechanical characteristics mixed additional aggregates classified are investigated discussed presentation two experimental campaigns. first investigation refers made fine used replacement for (sand), while second program inclusion three concrete. Different mixes different percentages identify possible fields application. indicate that quarry within significant percentage ranges, having recognized limited strength makes itself appropriate practical applications.
