CONCLUSIONS
Study investigated the suitability of incorporating an eco-aggregate that contains plastic waste called RESIN8™, into 3D printable concrete. The incorporation of RESIN8 into 3DPChas great potential and could improve the circularity and sustainability of current 3D printable concrete mixes.
As concrete represents a large volume of material consumed each year, incorporating as little as 5% RESIN8™ would significantly reduce the amount of waste plastics in our natural environment.

TECHNICAL PROPERTIES1
RESIN8™
The lightweight and versatile nature of RESIN8™ has made it a proven and trusted drop-in substitute for a portion of raw virgin aggregates in a wide range of structural and architectural concrete applications. As an additive to asphalt, it also improves pavement life.
Mix designs and performance outcomes are flexible and yours to control. Download our technical data sheets and review our test results for inspiration.
