Recovery of Used Paints in the Field of Plaster Mortars

Waste from the use of construction materials represents the largest amount of waste generated in the world. Used paints could enter an extensive recycling process, and will be reused for other purposes, namely in the preparation of plaster mortars. Industrial production and the construction of residential buildings leave a significant amount of waste, and burying them underground is a negative factor on the environment, resulting waste that can be recycled and reused. The obligation to implement a waste management, with clear measures regarding the recycling methods by type of material will lead to the reduction of raw materials used in the manufacture of construction materials. Just as there is the circuit of water in nature and the circuit of municipal household waste, we must consider a circuit of construction materials, from their manufacture, their labeling, to their reuse in the construction of buildings. Human, as a component of society, must know and be responsible for the fact that the resources of this planet are limited and that methods must be found to use waste through efficient management, while respecting the environment. To reduce the negative effects on the environment caused by construction and demolition waste, we emphasized the importance of protecting the environment and developed an experimental program through which used paint is used as a substitute for water in the production of plaster mortar.
