In this paper, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used to produce eco-innovative engineering materials with optimized performance, minimizing the environmental impact deriving from plastic consumption activity and limiting the continuous consumption of raw materials. The recycled PET obtained from waste bottles, commonly used to improve the ductility of concrete, has been used with a different weight percentage as plastic aggregate in the replacement of sand in cement mortars and as fibers added to premixed screeds. In detail, the effect of PET treatment (chemical or mechanical) on the thermal performance was evaluated. Non-destructive physical tests were conducted to determine the thermal conductivity of the investigated building materials. The performed tests showed that chemically depolymerized PET aggregate and recycled PET fibers derived from plastic wastes can reduce the heat conduction capacity of the cementitious materials with limited reduction in compressive strength. The results of the experimental campaign have made it possible to evaluate the influence of the recycled material on the physical and mechanical properties and its feasibility in non-structural applications. |
