Abstract
Chapter 8 provides an overview of current practices in recycling e-waste in concrete. E-waste encompasses a number of materials, including cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal displays, printed circuit boards, plastics, and wires. Concrete plays a crucial role in civil structures and, with the increase in population, the demand for concrete is becoming higher than ever. As the constituents of concrete are finite resources, researchers have explored new concrete products incorporating e-waste, to reduce the demand for traditional concrete while providing new sustainable solutions in waste management. Additionally, the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing concrete and building with concrete are being investigated, due to their links with climate change. The topics covered in this chapter include a discussion on the existing concrete products available today, the current impact of existing concrete products on the environment, the importance of e-waste management, and an overview of different types of e-wastes combined with concrete.
