      Polyethylene (HDPE) Blocks for Potential Use as Masonry Component in Civil 
      Construction.

AB  - The lack of suitable destinations for plastics materials can be a global 
      environmental problem. The alternative use of materials for sustainable 
      construction encourages the standardization of waste and promotes effective 
      social, environmental and economic gains at the local level and ensures savings 
      and income for communities. The aim of this paper is the development, 
      manufacture, and characterization of PP and HDPE recycled polyolefin blocks as 
      masonry components in civil construction. These blocks were manufactured by the 
      rotational molding process. Besides this, the mechanical, physical, impact and 
      flammability properties of the blocks were studied. In conclusion, HDPE showed 
      better behavior than PP in tests realized.
