Description:

Panels for housing can be manufactured by recycling plastic materials from various sources. It thus contributes to decontaminating the environment, since most of this waste is buried in municipal land without any use, or accumulated and burned in landfills, causing environmental degradation.” [*]
In this project, panels similar to those mentioned in the reference will be manufactured and tested, keeping in mind the New Zealand conditions.
