Upcycling waste concrete powder into cement-free construction materials through low-dosage micron-sized polyethylene and hot-pressing

Massive quantities of concrete waste and polyethylene (PE) waste are generated annually, yet both remain underutilized. Previous studies showed that carbonation-induced CaCO 3 crystal bridges enhanced interparticle bonding and strength of compacted recycled concrete material, but...
