This paper addresses the issue of recycling waste plastic by considering the feasibility of use of Eco-bricks for constructional purposes. The Eco-bricks are formed by packing plastic within Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET) bottles. Guidelines were provided for the construction of Eco-bricks. Experiments were carried out to characterise some of the properties of these bricks. Compression test, sound insulation assessment and light transmission were considered in this regard and compared with traditional construction materials and conditions. Possible applications of Eco-bricks were discussed. The paper presents the first attempt to characterise these bricks and the results encourage future use of them to a significantly wider extent and for various purposes.

“…Literature review [1] indicated that the usage of water bottles has enlarged by around 500% throughout the previous decade, and 1.5 million tons of plastic is utilized to bottle water each year. Chen et al [2] stated that finding a way to reuse plastic waste is an environmentally friendly approach to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and fossil fuel consumption.…”

“…There are limited researches performed on the usage of plastic bottle waste as a reinforcing material for soil improvement. Researchers have focused on using the waste of plastic bottles as reinforcing material in the sand [1,7]. The plastic waste has been added in the form of chips in different percentages.…”

“…The plastic waste has been added in the form of chips in different percentages. The experimental outcomes have illustrated that the inclusion of plastic waste chips improved the shear strength of sandy soil due to the increase in friction between the soil particles and the plastic waste [1,7]. Consoli et al [8] used polyethylene fibers extracted from plastic wastes for reinforcing cemented and uncemented sand.…”

Recycling plastic waste from water bottles has become one of the main challenges worldwide. The aim of this study is to recycle empty plastic water bottles as reinforcing material for the improvement of sandy soil. The laboratory tests were performed on both natural and reinforced sands with different plastic waste percentages: 0, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 of the dry weight of sand at relative density states of 30% and 60%. Direct shear box and the California Bearing Ratio, CBR tests were performed to determine the effect of the plastic waste on the shear strength and the penetration resistance of the reinforced sand. Test results indicated that plastic waste reinforcement contributed to the improvement of the shear strength and the CBR number of the reinforced sand. Higher shear strength and higher penetration resistance were obtained with plastic waste reinforcement. The optimum percentage of plastic waste required for enhancing the shear strength and the CBR number was found to be 0.75%. With the optimum percentage of plastic waste, the improvement in the shear strength and the penetration resistance of the reinforced sand increased to at least 9% compared to natural soil at relative density states of 30% and 60%.

“…Waste material risk analysis is important for environmental pollution control, and survival of living creatures. Although the destructive potential of risky accidental scenarios is, widely recognized, scarce attention is paid to this subject in the scientific and technical literature [2]. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is another method that is used in the chemical industry in land-use planning.…”
