Concrete use is enhanced daily due to infrastructure development, but it has adverse impacts on the environment. Modern lifestyles have led increased of plastic, and, for households, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics are used. However, PET non-biodegradable and causes environment marine health. So, there a need minimize amount plastic waste by finding an alternative waste. Our study focuses creating sustainable concrete utilizing PET-based as partial substitution aggregates, aiming this various low-load-bearing construction applications. From our phase analysis study, no effects were found cement formation. We also that up 10 wt.% incorporation leads acceptable compressive strength reduction per ASTM guidelines. To enhance adhesion, was roughened, from FESEM, we effective adhesion into matrix. believe will not only contribute promote eco-friendly material development.
