Abstract
The article classifies construction wastes and assesses the possibility of using them to produce new construction materials. The authors present examples of obtaining composites on the basis of glass and brick waste, reinforced concrete debris, gypsum plasterboard, drywall, wood, asbestos cement, polyvinyl chloride, and cross-linked polyethylene. The analysis of literature sources reveals the manufacturing of building materials and products on the basis of construction waste. Their using is a promising direction of production development, allowing us to reduce costs, conserve natural resources, and minimize the negative impact on the environment. The wastes of cross-linked polyethylene (insulation of cables and pipelines) belong to the wastes, recycling of which is poorly studied or complicated. The article also provides the results of research aimed at the synthesis of oil-resistant concrete on the basis of cross-linked polyethylene waste and crushed bricks, indicating the prospects of using cross-linked polyethylene as an aggregate for the production of concrete.
