Summary

This review examines strategies for recycling plastic waste in construction applications, covering methods to convert plastic scraps into building components and discussing barriers including contamination, mixed polymer streams, and regulatory restrictions on plastic use in structural applications.

Plastic waste poses one of the primary dangers to the planet since it is produced in large quantities and seriously harms both the environment and human population. Plastic waste from land-based sources frequently finds its way into bodies of water, where it poisons and floods the marine ecology, harming aquatic organisms. Examining diverse methods to transform plastic trash into novel goods is recognized as an effective means of handling them and improving the welfare of the planet, as covered in this piece. Additionally, the restriction on the use of plastic waste for building is taken into account. It has been determined that using plastic waste for building will greatly improve the ecological balance and be recognized as a reliable supply of resources for use in more traditional components like concrete and asphalt.
