Abstract

Bamboo scaffolding is commonly used in China during the construction of structural buildings. The high consumption of bamboo leads to the problem in the disposal of bamboos materials. Nowadays, most of consumer products are made of polymeric materials. The common engineering plastics are not biodegradable. The recycling of plastics is the important research topics. This paper is to study the recycling the plastic wastes with used bamboo scaffolding on making wall tiles. Firstly, the problem on high consumption of polymeric materials was studied. Secondly, the properties of plastic wastes and bamboo were reviewed. Thirdly, the testing standards of wall tiles were also studied. Finally, the feasibility of recycling plastic wastes and bamboo on making wall tiles were concluded.
