Discarded glass can now be turned into concrete

Buildings, roads, and parking structures could soon be constructed using concrete that’s made of discarded glass. Researchers from the Deakin University School of Engineering in Australia have found a way to take glass waste and grind it up into fine particles that can be substituted for sand in concrete mixtures. The resulting polymer concrete would help keep glass waste out of landfills and pave the way for more eco-friendly and sustainable materials in the construction industry. Polymer concrete uses resins as an alternative to sandy lime-type …
