The proposed revision incorporates the use of low-value, non-recyclable plastic waste as a substitute for virgin stone aggregate in concrete. The approach is analogous to VM0043’s treatment of CO2 mineralisation in concrete, with the key difference being that the fossil carbon is contained within the plastic itself, which is permanently encapsulated in the concrete matrix.
