The article focuses on the Center for Regenerative Design & Collaboration (CRDC) Global's RESIN8, a patented lightweight plastic eco-aggregate for concrete, which offers a solution to the plastic waste problem by repurposing non-recyclable plastic waste. The innovative material can replace up to 10 percent of natural aggregate in structural concrete applications; and providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives for construction while addressing the plastic pollution issue.
