Abstract
Comparison of the ecological compatibility of steel and plastic waste fittings
Incoming article date: 09.03.2017The article describes a partial solution to the problem of disposing of waste plastic as their use in the manufacture of fiberglass reinforcement. The comparison of the calculation of the foundation slab reinforcement using the class A-500S and fiberglass reinforcement with a thickness of 300 mm plate. From calculations that by recycling the plastic in the manufacture of fiberglass reinforcement observed economic benefits for the producer (cost of fiberglass reinforcement with the same thickness of the foundation plate 3 times less than steel), as well as environmental benefit for the planet, as this will help reduce the amount of plastic waste without recycling.
