Development and characterization of a composite material with geopolymer matrix obtained by incorporation of microparticles from plastic bottles

Abstract

respectively. According to these results, the use of polyethylene terephthalate aggregates as a partial substitute of aluminosilicate raw material for the development of a composite can be a good alternative for recycling plastic bottle waste. The composite obtained could be used for the manufacture of ceiling lights and brick facings, and therefore would significantly reduce the amount of waste plastic produced every day in environment.
