Plastic ConcreteRecent RPI Masters of Architecture graduate Henry Miller has devised a way to reuse waste plastic as an aggregate in cement, circumventing the energy-intensive process of plastic recycling. By grinding up landfill-bound plastic and mixing it with portland cement, Miller was able to create a material just as strong as traditional concrete made with mined aggregate. The ingenious solution netted miller first place in the "Component Category" of the second annual Concrete Thinking for a Sustainable World competition....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/plastic-concrete-repurposes-landfill-waste-into-building-bricks/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
