CONCLUSIONS
Study investigated the suitability of incorporating an eco-aggregate that contains plastic waste called RESIN8™, into 3D printable concrete. The incorporation of RESIN8 into 3DPChas great potential and could improve the circularity and sustainability of current 3D printable concrete mixes.
As concrete represents a large volume of material consumed each year, incorporating as little as 5% RESIN8™ would significantly reduce the amount of waste plastics in our natural environment.
