Conversion of waste plastic (low density polyethylene) to alternative resources
Source abstract
Abstract
Plastic pollution has become one of the top issues at present throughout the world. In Asian continent plastic pollution is found at the highest rate and Bangladesh is ranking as the 10th number of plastic wastes producer. To minimize the plastic pollution its management is necessary. To do that we tried to convert the plastic wastes as alternative resources for example plastic tiles or plastic tobs. The study was conducted at Jashore University of Science and Technology campus where polyethylene plastic wastes are found available. In this research, two experiments were conducted. First one is the preparation of plastic tiles and the second one is the making of tobs. The plastic tiles could be used in rare or rural area and plastic tobs could be used as decorative purposes. To find out the characteristics of them, compressive strength, SEM, FTIR and EDX were done to determine its durability. From the results, we found the satisfactory output of the product and could be used as alternative resources.
