ABSTRACT :

PET Bottles are finding more and more applications in disposable packaging mainly in beverage segment.As on today not only cola companies are using PET bottles but also fruit juice, mineral water and liquor industries have accepted PET bottles for packaging of their product. The transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles have become increasingly common and are used for mineral water, soda waters and soft drinks. These bottles are of – course, very user friendly but environmental hazards are associated with PET Bottles. Huge consumption of these commodities causes volumetrically large PET wastage on daily basis. They contribute a large part in urban garbage. In this paper, an effort has been made to recognize the possible application of waste PET bottles for manufacturing of composite panel for economically feasible architectural and building applications.

Key words: Recycling, Composite Panels,Architectural Applications.
