| Abstract: | The project advances a scientifically rigorous approach to transforming hard-to-recycle plastic waste into low-carbon construction materials, addressing two converging global challenges: the accumulation of non-recyclable plastics and the environmental burden of conventional concrete production. Globally, only 10% of plastic waste is recycled, while Malta records similarly low recycling rates, with approximately 80% of plastic waste remaining unused. [excerpt] |
