چکیده

استفاده از پلاستیک‌های بازیافتی در صنعت ساخت‌وساز به‌عنوان راهکار پایداری برای کاهش آلودگی زیست‌محیطی و مصرف مواد اولیة طبیعی و ارتقای ویژگی‌های فنی این مصالح مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. در این مطالعه، کاربرد پلاستیک‌های بازیافتی در تولید بتن، آسفالت، آجر و سایر مصالح ساختمانی بررسی و اثر آن‌ها بر خواص مکانیکی، دوام و کارایی مصالح نیز ارزیابی شده است. نتایج نشان می‌دهد، جایگزینی مصالح سنتی با پلاستیک‌های بازیافتی، مقاومت فشاری و کششی مواد را در برخی موارد کاهش می‌دهد، اما کارایی، مقاومت دربرابر رطوبت و عمر روسازی عایق گرمایی و صوتی را بهبود می‌بخشد. همچنین، استفاده از این مواد به کاهش پسماندهای پلاستیکی، صرفه‌جویی در هزینه‌ها و کاهش ردپای کربن کمک می‌کند. این مطالعه نشان می‌دهد، با بهینه‌سازی درصد جایگزینی و اصلاح سطح پلاستیک‌ها، می‌توان عملکرد مصالح ساخت­وساز را بهبود بخشید و گامی مؤثر برای توسعه فناوری‌های ساخت‌وساز پایدار و اقتصاد چرخشی برداشت. باوجود این مزایا، چالش‌هایی نظیر هزینه‌های تولید، پایداری بلندمدت و چگونگی فراوری پلاستیک‌های مختلف برای استفاده در تولید مصالح ساختمانی وجود دارد که باید درنظر گرفته شوند. در این مقاله، انواع پلاستیک‌های قابل­استفاده در مصالح مختلف، روش‌های فراوری و آثار زیست‌محیطی این رویکرد به‌تفصیل مرور شده است.

چکیده [English]

The use of recycled plastics in the construction industry has been considered as a sustainable solution to reduce environmental pollution and the consumption of natural raw materials and improve the technical properties of these materials. In this study, the use of recycled plastics in the production of concrete, asphalt, bricks, and other construction materials was investigated and their effect on the mechanical properties, durability, and structural performance of the materials was also evaluated. The results show that although replacing traditional materials with recycled plastics may sometimes reduce compressive and tensile strength, it significantly improves workability, moisture resistance, and the thermal and acoustic insulation of the materials, as well as extending their lifespan Also, the use of these materials helps to reduce plastic waste, costs, and the carbon footprint. This study shows that by optimizing the replacement ratio and surface modification of plastics, the performance of construction materials can be improved and an effective step can be taken towards the development of sustainable construction technologies and the circular economy. Despite these advantages, there are challenges such as production costs, long-term durability, and how to process different plastics for use in the production of construction materials that need to be considered. This paper provides a thorough overview of the types of plastics suitable for various materials, processing methods, and the environmental impact of this approach, offering valuable insights into how recycled plastics can reshape the future of the construction industry.
