Abstract
Plastic waste management is a challenging task worldwide and researchers are exploring the feasibility of using plastic waste in the construction sector. This paper reports on the design and construction of a semi-automated machine that converts low density polyethylene plastic waste into construction materials such as blocks, tiles and partition panels. The performance of the machine during loading and manufacturing interlocking blocks is also discussed. The samples obtained had a compressive strength of 10 MPa corresponding to 20% strain, which is higher than that of the conventionally used construction materials.
期刊介绍：
Waste and Resource Management publishes original research and practice papers on all civil engineering and construction related aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the re-use and recycling, to the management and disposal of residual wastes. Associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations and links with sustainable consumption and production are included. The range of subjects covered encompasses, but is not restricted to, strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and re-use, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and, the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.
