This book, 'Reuse of Plastic Waste in Eco-efficient Concrete,' edited by Fernando Jamal Khatib, explores innovative methods for integrating recycled plastic waste into concrete and asphalt materials. It addresses the environmental challenges posed by plastic waste and presents solutions through the use of recycled plastic fibers and aggregates in construction. The book discusses various processing techniques for plastic waste, including sorting technologies and machine learning applications, and examines the mechanical and durability properties of concrete and asphalt modified with recycled plastics. It aims at promoting sustainable construction practices and is intended for researchers, engineers, and professionals in the fields of civil and structural engineering.
