Inovasi Penggunaan Serat Masker dan Botol Plastik Pada Campuran Beton Ramah Lingkungan

The innovation of added materials in the manufacture of concrete is growing. The use of additives in the concrete mix will reduce the exploitation of natural resources. One way to reduce exploitation from the use of mixed materials in concrete is the use of added materials from waste. The use of materials from waste is an effort to increase the carrying capacity of the environment. The use of materials from waste in the manufacture of concrete will make the concrete environmentally friendly because it utilizes waste as an added ingredient in the mix so that it will reduce pollution and decrease the carrying capacity of the environment. Eco-friendly concrete aggregates use waste materials from plastic bottles and mask fibers. The increasing production of masks due to COVID-19 and the increasing use of plastic bottles. This study aims to use the the results of the compressive strength test, it was found that the use of the largest variation of the mask and the smallest variation of plastic bottles had the greatest compressive strength compared to the composition of other variations. This innovation of added materials from waste is an alternative that can be used for environmentally friendly concrete.
