Recycled Plastic Bottles Transformed into High-Strength Construction Materials in Scientific Breakthrough
Scientists have successfully transformed recycled plastic bottles into high-performance construction materials. The innovative composites demonstrate mechanical properties comparable to commercial virgin materials, opening new possibilities for sustainable building components.
Revolutionary Sustainable Construction Materials
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to transform recycled plastic bottles into high-strength construction materials, according to recent scientific reports. The innovative approach uses 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) from bottle waste flakes combined with alkaline-resistant glass fibres to create composites suitable for structural applications like anchors and connectors in civil engineering.
