Techno-Assessment of the Use of Recycled Plastic Waste in RE

Effectively consumed plastic waste is an emerging technical and social issue for Australia. Adding into construction material ensuring minimised impact to the mechanical performance of could bring significant benefits. In this study, was mixed cement-stabilised rammed earth (RE) brick manufacture. Techno framework consisting compressive strength test split tensile derivation structural assessment life cycle determining EE(EE) applied compare recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) added RE with conventional bricks. The properties different mixtures were studied. replacement rock aggregates in stabilised found improve developed composition. Following this, EE analysis important assess whether these waste-based bricks can environmental a cost-competitive manner while maintaining performance. increase HDPE likely affect RE, which possibly be overcome by using less energy-intensive cementitious materials HDPE.
