Reutilización de polímetros como alternativa socio ambiental y económica en la elaboración de eco bloques

Abstract

The main objective of this essay was to approach innovation with respect to the composition of the material with the prefabricated building blocks are made of, the base idea was to replace the use of aggregates in conglomerate, which would give us a new product resulted in the production chain that would generate impacts of social order linked to the people who work with recycling, economical for the final product cost, technology for the creation of a new and environmental material by reusing polymers would otherwise be discarded . To validate this hypothesis the new block was subjected to laboratory experimentation comparing resulting to those required by the rules NTE- INEN values. Varying the percent loading of polymer in the blend from 10% to 40% of 10 in 10. The laboratory analysis concludes that the burden of polyethylene must not exceed 10 % and should be used on high density, then removing intermediaries with respect to sales of people working with recycling represents a significant impact on their work, on the other hand the final cost of the new block is competitive with traditional building block. Finally as for the environmental aspect a double positive effect occurs, contributes to the reduction of solid waste going to landfill, and because of the other production process of this new product does not generate impacts that could alter environmental conditions.
