Utilization of PET Plastic Waste as an Environmentally Friendly Paving Block Material

Abstract

The growing problem of plastic waste has led to an urgent need for sustainable solutions. One potential solution is to utilize plastic waste as a resource for the production of environmentally friendly building materials, such as paving blocks. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using PET plastic waste as a raw material for the production of paving blocks. The results show that the use of PET plastic waste in the production of paving blocks not only reduces the amount of waste in landfills but also produces durable and cost-effective paving blocks that meet the required standards. Thus, the utilization of PET plastic waste as a raw material for paving block production is a promising solution for the management of plastic waste.
