CZ20002842A3 - Environment friendly disposal of non-returnable plastic bottles by casting thereof in concrete blocks - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to environment-friendly disposal of non-returnable plastic bottles by casting them in concrete blocks. The bottles are filled with water and closed. Subsequently water is removed by puncture of the bottles close to the surface of the concrete blocks after concrete hardening and removal of the mold.

Description

Ecological disposal of irreversible plastic bottles by pouring into concrete blocks

The invention relates to a method for disposing of non-returnable plastic bottles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The mass transfer of beverage producers from bottling to glass returnable to the use of non-returnable plastic bottles leads to an increase in the proportion of these often otherwise unusable packaging in waste destined for landfill or incineration. Recently known methods of disposal of recycling are considerably capital intensive, bound to the source of energy and the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

These deficiencies are largely eliminated by the method of ecological disposal of irreversible plastic bottles by pouring them into concrete block molds. According to the invention, the cavities in the concrete block are formed by inserting plastic bottles into a mold with dimensions w x 1 x h, where the width of the mold equals twice the diameter of the bottle, 1 length of the mold height of the bottle and .

According to the invention, we first apply a thin layer of fine concrete mixture into the mold, insert closed plastic bottles filled with water, fill the mold with concrete and smooth the top surface. After 3-5 days with occasional sprinkling remove the form. The cylinders at the points where they protrude to the surface of the solidified concrete of the blocks are injected and by several turns during the three weeks of flowing the water is removed from the cylinders. Water _and bottles during concreting will prevent them from being compressed or lifted at the beginning of cementing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

We place 4 plastic bottles of 1.5 or 2 liters in a 200 mm x 350 mm x 200 mm mold, which ecologically discards 4 plastic bottles and produces a significantly lightweight block of given dimensions.

We proceed similarly in the production of blocks with dimensions eg 200 mm x 350 mm x 100 mm, when we dispose of 2 bottles or 200 mm x 350 mm x 300 mm / 6 bottles / pod. Molds up to a height of 600 mm seem to be the most suitable.

Industrial applicability

Ecoloric disposal of plastic bottles is particularly advantageous for low investment and energy consumption with the applicability of the thus produced concrete new elements for structures stressed, eg the basic structure, some retaining walls, etc., where, apart from the compressive stress, no tensile stress occurs.

Claims (2)

PATENT CLAIMS 1. Ecological disposal of irreversible plastic bottles by pouring into concrete blocks characterized in that the closed plastic bottles filled with water create cavities in a concrete block with dimensions w x 1 x h, where w width is twice the diameter of the bottle, 1 length of the bottle height and one height and more times the bottle diameter. 2. A method of ecologically disposing of plastic bottles according to claim 1, characterized in that the air relief cavities in the concrete of the blocks are formed by draining the water from the unfilled and closed plastic bottles by piercing them after removing the molds at the exit point to the surface.
