A recent report by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) promoting the use of recycled Plastic in construction materials has been met with skepticism by independent experts. They warn of unknown health and environmental impacts, as well as the limited effectiveness of diverting plastic waste into construction. Concerns include the potential release of microplastics and plastic chemicals into waterways. The report also highlights the lack of research into the structural integrity of plastic-infused infrastructure. Experts argue that the use of recycled plastic in construction may not be a significant solution to the plastic pollution crisis.
