Abstract

Plastic waste recycling has been extensively studied, particularly in applications such as paving blocks, asphalt mixtures, and composite boards. One critical parameter affecting the quality of these products is material hardness. This study examines the effect of CaCO₃ addition on the hardness of polymer composite materials. The preparation process involved collecting, washing, drying, sorting, and shredding plastic waste, followed by mixing High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) at a ratio of 1:5. Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) was added at varying concentrations (0%; 0,5%;1,0%; 1,5%, and 2,0%), and the mixture was melted using an extruder and subsequently molded. The results indicate that the addition of 1,5% CaCO₃ yields the highest and most stable hardness value across three tests, achieving 4,77 HV with a standard deviation of 0,0577. Furthermore, microstructural analysis reveals that up to 1,5% CaCO₃ leads to the most uniform filler distribution, optimizing both hardness and material stability. This study reveals that increasing CaCO₃ concentration enhances composite material hardness when evenly distributed and homogeneous. However, excessive CaCO₃ concentration may result in agglomeration, negatively impacting composite properties.

Abstract

Plastic is a polymer product that is widely used in society. This resultx in an increase in plastic waste. Plastic waste processing needs to be done to prevent environmental emissions. Plasstic waste can be converted into an alternative energy source in briquettes. The reasearch object is to produce briquettes from plastic and sugarcane bagasse. Plastic briquettes and bagasse have a ratio of 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1. The second stage is the preparation and design of the tool using the pyrolisis method. Research variables include the composition of plastic waste and sugarcane bagasse. Analysis of briquette products includes calorific value, ash conten and water conten. The results of research on briquette products with variations in sampel A having a ratio of 1:2, sample B with ratio of 1:1 and sample C with a ratio 2:1 respectively show a calorific value of 3,929 cal/g, 4.013 cal/g, 4,222 cal/g; water content values of 8,6%, 6,7%, 5,8%, the ash content value is 5,4%, 7,2% and 8,6% and the volatile matter value is 15.3, 13.2% and 12,6%.
