Abstract
The potential use of municipal solid waste (MSW) plastic rejects, which results from composting rotating screens or from dumpsites, in the production of a composite material for different applications in construction, sanitary, mechanical, costal zones, etc. is very important for approaching a “cradle-to-cradle” concept for MSW to reach sustainable development. This is a new approach worldwide and the evaluation of using MSW rejects as a new material are based on both mechanical and service properties of the proposed material together with an environmental assessment associated with the production and use of this composite material. This chapter discusses the kinds of waste (rejects) that cannot be recycled by any technique. It discusses technology developments to recycle unrecyclable wastes (rejects) as well as product developments to meet or match the needs of a given community. The properties of the resulting new materials and suggestions for its suitable applications are also presented.
