Challenges and Opportunities for Ensuring Environmental Protection Requirements
Downloads
The article discusses forms of environmental damage caused by construction, Georgia's commitments to reduce construction-related environmental damage, and legislative requirements. It provides information on current and expected consequences caused by plastic as one of the major environmental pollutants. The existing practice of using plastic as a construction raw material has been discussed. The article describes an experimental stand used to conduct research on optimal proportions for producing an energy-efficient block that meets regulatory requirements, using plastic and local raw materials.
