Water Absorbability

Plastic waste is majority an organic material that cannot easily decomposed by bacteria, so it needs to be recycled. One of the utilization of plastic waste recycling is become a mixture in the manufacture of building materials such as concrete, paving block, tiles, roof. This experiment purpose to find out the effect of addition of variation of LDPE and PP thermoplastic binder to physical and mechanical properties of LDPE/PP/Sand composite for construction material application. In this experiment are using many tests, such are SEM, FTIR, compression strength, density, water absorbability, and hardness. the result after the test are the best composition of composite PP/LDPE/sand is 70/0/30 because its have compression strength 14,2 MPa, while density value was 1.30 g/cm3, for the water absorbability is 0.073%, and for the highest hardness is 62.3 hardness of shore D. From the results obtained, composite material can be classified into construction materials for mortar application S type with average compression strength is 12.4 MPa.

Natural Aggregates

Construction is growing rapidly nowadays. Buildings, housing, industry/business centers and highways will require natural aggregates which are natural resources that cannot be renewed. Therefore, we need replacement materials able to replace these natural aggregate. The large amount of plastic waste in fields, based on existing data, causes environmental pollution through it can be reused and useful for building and road construction. Most of communities don’t even know the plastic waste processing technology that allow their use in the construction of house construction such as floors, walls, roofs, and hinges and also road construction with not heavy road loads. The purpose of this activity is to provide the knowledge to the people of RPTRA related to technology for the use of plastic waste for building materials and also road construction in the area in the RPTRA environment considering it is not a public road and hence, with not heavy vehicle. The method used is firstly observation and interview of several houses visited. Then activities about using different types of plastic waste as construction materials. Finally, evaluation of the progress of the project by conducting a survey to people who had met the criteria of being a member of the plastic waste program. The success of this program will be the people’s understanding and a significate growing of any highvalue plastic use as construction material. The benefit of this community service is to increase the knowledge and insight of the people of RPTRA, South Meruya, and West Jakarta City, related to environmentally friendly technologies such as plastic waste processing.

Polyethylene Terephtalate

Plastic Composite Panel (PCP) is an innovation in the field of materials that uses recycling plastic waste to construct composite cement panels. This material innovation is one of the solutionto answer environmental problems caused by plastic waste. Some previous studies mostly used plastic waste for concrete aggregates. Thus, making this study different from previous studies. The purpose of this study is to make a prototype of a PCP that is environmentally friendly with panel dimensions sample of 100 x 30 x 10 mm thick. The method used is an experimental test using materials in the form of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) from used water bottle and cement waste as well as testing its physical and mechanical properties carried out in the laboratory. Variations in PET used for testing materials are 0- 20%. In addition to mechanical properties, specific gravity and porosity test is carried out. The best results shows that 5% PET addition to cement paste increase the flexutral strength to 4.47 MPa compared to control sample which has 3.26 MPa. Porosity test shows that addition of 10% PET reduce the density of PCP to 63.64% compared to control sample that has 44.44%.
