Wiener Gerardo Araya-Letelier Raúl Gonzalez Retamal Ingeniería Eco bricks elastic modulus nonstructural materials physical characterization Eco - bricks, p olyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles filled with mixed inorganic waste, have bec o me a low cost construction material and a valid recycling method to reduce waste disposal in regions where industrial recycling is not yet available . B ecause Eco - bricks are filled with mixed recovered materials , potential recycling of its constituents is difficult at the end of its life. This study proposes considering Eco - bricks filled with a single inorganic waste material to work as a time capsule , w ith potential f or recovering the filling material when other ways of waste valorization are available within those communities that currently have no better recycling options. This paper develops a n experimental characterization of density, filler content (by volume) , thermal shrinkage , elastic modulus and deformation recovery capacity using four different filler materials: 1) PET; 2) paper & cardboard ; 3) t etrapack; and 4) m etal .
