Abstract:

This thesis studies the uses of ECO-BOARD, a recycled plastic product. These uses are in the construction industry, where we consider the option of replacing several materials in the industry with ECO-BOARD. This is done by first administering specified tests on Eco-board. The second step is to establish specifications, through literature search, of material to be replaced by Eco-board. Then we administer a survey in order to acquire the cost of material to be replaced by Eco-board, in local markets. Then we estimate the cost of substituting Eco-board for each of the proposed material. At the end we recommended the best deployment for Eco-board within the construction industry.
