Experimental Investigation Of Effective Utilization of Plastic Waste in Concrete Beams

Nitheesh Kumar M.R, Sri Ruban.D

Abstract: Plastic waste is a growing concern in our day to day life. Although recently there has been a slight decrease in plastic production, this is unlikely to be maintained. Plastics are highly useful material and its applications are expected to increase as more new products and plastics are developed to meet demand. The impacts of plastic waste on our health and the environment are only just becoming apparent. Most of our knowledge is around plastic waste in the marine environment, although there is research that indicates plastic waste in landfill and in badly managed recycling systems could be having an impact, mainly from the chemicals contained in plastic.
