It is a fact that plastic packages are widely used over the world. This large-scale consumption has resulted in a decrease of the initial resources used to manufacture the packages and has made it more of a challenge to dispose the increased amount of solid plastic wastes. Plastic waste is one of the most significant types of waste materials in the world, owing to its non-degradation and low biodegradability. The presence of large quantities of plastic waste has led to a number of environmental problems. Various researches have already been conducted to find a safe and environmentally friendly solution for the disposal of plastic wastes. Recently, different types of plastic have been incorporated into concrete mixtures because of its long service life and lower weight in order to eliminate or reduce environmental problems. This paper presents an overview of previously published research papers, which is investigating the use of different types of plastic wastes in concrete mixtures. In addition, a global view is summarized regarding the effects of plastic waste on fresh, mechanical, thermal, and acoustical properties of concrete.

塑料包装在世界范围内被广泛使用是事实。这种大规模消耗导致用于制造包装的初始资源的减少，并且使处置增加数量的固体塑料废料面临更大的挑战。塑料废料由于其不可降解和低生物降解性，因此是世界上最重要的废料之一。大量塑料废料的存在导致了许多环境问题。已经进行了各种研究以找到用于处理塑料废物的安全和环境友好的解决方案。最近，由于其使用寿命长且重量轻，已将不同类型的塑料掺入混凝土混合物中，以消除或减少环境问题。本文概述了以前发表的研究论文，该论文正在研究在混凝土混合物中使用不同类型的塑料废料。此外，对于塑料废料对混凝土的新鲜，机械，热和声学性能的影响，也有一个整体的看法。
