What is Plastic Waste in Concrete Production about?

This literature matrix summarizes a study on the use of plastic waste as an aggregate in cement mortar and concrete. It includes 5 major findings: 1) Plastic aggregate can decrease or increase the slump of fresh concrete depending on its shape. Incorporation can also produce lightweight concrete. 2) Plastic aggregate lowers strength properties due to weak binding with cement paste, with up to 72% reduction in compressive strength. 3) Reductions in tensile and flexural strength are relatively less than
