Abstract

Transformation of non-renewable materials into renewable materials into sustainable innovative materials. Annual plastic waste increases and worsens environmental damage. The increase in plastic waste, which is difficult to decompose and produces toxic gases when burned, can harm the environment. Utilizing this waste in concrete production can help conserve building resources. This study is to test the mechanical behavior of mortar by replacing aggregates using PET plastic waste (granules) with variations of 0%, 3%, and 5% of the weight of sand. Testing was carried out at the age of 7 and 28 days. This study evaluated mortar flow, density, and compressive strength. Replacing fine aggregates using PET plastic aggregates up to 5% in the mortar mixture showed a positive impact on the compressive strength of the mortar, and the material can absorb energy well. This study shows that when 5% PET waste aggregate is added to the mortar, its compressive strength can increase by up to 1.16 times compared to the regular mixture, making it a good option for sustainable construction.
