A Brief Study on the Use of Non-Biodegradable Wastes in Concrete

Due to a lack of available resources, an increase to be changed to and increase in construction activity leads to the development of numerous novel building materials. Continuous research is being conducted in various parts of the world to identify new concrete building materials. Non-biodegradable wastes, primarily plastics, are one type of waste employed in such studies. This study combines the aspect of solid waste disposal along with the usage of wastes as a building material. Since proper disposal of non-biodegradable waste possess hectic issues to the government authorities, using them as a construction material can be an effective option. This paper summarises several studies on the use of non-biodegradable waste products as a building material. Various types of wastes are investigated, as well as the tests undertaken to use them as a construction entity.
