Abstract

The necessity to incorporate plastic waste in order to mitigate a large amount of plastic pollution in the world today has led to the appearance of new solutions for development in the construction industry. To be more specific, the construction of pavers, mixed with plastic waste in a ratio of 75/25 respectively, improves the characteristics of resistance and water absorption, with respect to conventional commercial pavers.
