Performing of Concrete by Replacing Aggregate with Plastic Waste Generated During Covid19

Abstract

Abstract: Biomedical waste management is becoming increasingly important to satisfy sustainability goals and to meet the growing demand for medical services around the world. When considering recycling and incineration methods from an environmental perspective, over 80% of published Life Cycle Assessment studies believe recycling is better. Furthermore, among the many recycling methods, the use of various waste materials such as aggregates and fibers in the cement manufacturing process is considered to be an environmentally friendly, safe and reliable method. Useful. Nephrology, especially dialysis, is a major producer of polymer waste (BPW) in medical practice. After each treatment, 1.5-8 kg (400 kg / patient / year) of BPW is removed by burial or cremation. Most polymers are not biodegradable, so they accumulate inside. Previous studies have shown that incineration sterilization 49-60% BPW, autoclaving 20-37% and other sterilization methods 4-5%. Other methods, such as autoclaves and microwave ovens, are considered more environmentally friendly than incineration and produce the same waste after treatment. It must be disposed of by burning, increasing disposal costs and eliminating the need for waste. This study shows a positive relationship with the BPW environment through dialysis treatment and the participation of healthcare and industry partners in challenging situations. After each dialysis treatment, 1.5-8 kg (400 kg / patient / year) of total biomedical waste (BPW) is filled or stored. Additionally, this study will provide information to engineers, designers and construction managers on the use of reinforced concrete in BPW and equipment predictions based on current international standards and regulations.
