ABSTRACT

The benefits of innovation are already a determinant factor these days. There is no denying that the survival of competitiveness in industry much depends on the innovations. The growth of the concept of sustainability

coupled to the development of environmentally friendly products has fostered growing interest of the society and companies on new technologies, new processes and new services. With the growing market, the plastics have taken over the modern world. Products recycled polymer combines the concept of an environmentally friendly product, adding comfort and innovative design. In fact, it becomes necessary since the construction industry is responsible for major environmental impacts before and after project completion. The case study conducted in a School of Professional Education showed consistency in applying the use of recycled polymer in the construction industry. The aim of this chapter turns to a discussion of recycling of polymers and their use in the manufacture of innovative products for the construction industry.
