Description
Roobankumar and Senthil Pandian review in 2024 how waste foam from fridges, cars, and building work could lighten concrete. Foam waste is bulky and hard to recycle, so most of it is buried or burned. Swapping it for dug stone in concrete would cut both harms at once.
The review first sorts data on the foam's traits, for both soft and stiff forms, down to tiny scale views. It then weighs test results on fresh mix flow, set strength, weight, and inner structure. Readers get a single map of what is known before they try a mix. Builders chasing greener concrete need such maps, since a light mix that fails on strength helps no one.
