Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University (KSU), has successfully resulted in the production of concrete cement, waste plastic PET bottles.

Kahramanmaraş-KSU Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Civil Engineering Assoc. Dr. Hanifi Rider, waste plastic materials, cement, concrete blocks, to produce their work, resulted successfully, he said.
Waste plastic bottles collected from various sources, limestone, pumice, basalt, and quartz sands with a temperature of 200 degrees in a boiler that erittiklerini Assoc. Dr. Hanifi Rider, "after the completion of melting brought them into the mold. The resulting concrete on the flexural, compressive, water absorption and abrasion tests done. In our experiments, the resulting concrete, water absorption and abrasion found values ​​close to zero. The pressure values ​​are very high and durable" he said.
With a flexible structure is obtained from the concrete and cement structures because water is used in particular suggest that it is appropriate for the rider, "the cost of the cheap, and easy to handle," he said. Riders, the concrete values ​​of thermal conductivity is very high, endurance test in the 'cement concrete' that came with cement concrete by 12 percent, more robust, they produce the concrete, said it was a natural and environmentally friendly.
Recycling should be encouraged
4 percent of the plastic used in the production of the oil produced in the world, one for the production of PET bottles is a weight of approximately 200 grams of crude oil and rider representing at least 65 liters of water used, said plastic waste recycling is vital. Their production is also important to protect nature, underlining that an invention rider, said: "As long as converted waste plastic bottles back, will increase pollution and destruction of nature. Of plastics to be cheaper, as the atılmalarını encourages waste. Blocker in terms of efforts to re-use. Nature pads of waste water, soil, air pollution is causing, but it also is harmful to aquatic organisms, even causing death. all this in mind, as a college gave importance to the recovery of plastics. Plastic pads collected, we found out that cement concrete. We have undertaken an important task in our work. But the need to encourage recycling of plastic bottles. the pets as we do, both in industry and, after domestic use, to collect trash mixed with folk, bilinçlendirilip, should be encouraged. let them cement concrete, we let our pads, "he said.
