Abstract
This research has developed a methodology of producing macro recycled PP fibres with optimum mechanical properties for reinforcing concrete. The great potential of using these fibres in various concrete applications such as footpaths and precast concrete elements has been shown. Conclusions and recommendations are provided in this chapter. This will not only help reduce consumption of virgin materials like steel or plastic but also provides attractive avenue of recycling plastic waste.
