Keeping in mind the impact on the environment caused on the one hand by post-consumer plastic waste and on the other hand by production processes of concrete, it is possible to find a solution able, at least partly, to mitigate these two issues. Following the principles of the circular economy, in fact, it is possible to reuse post-consumer plastic waste as fine aggregates in concrete: in this way, post--consumer plastic from waste becomes a resource; at the same time, the use of othernatural resources is limited, such as the minerals traditionally used as aggregatesin concrete. However, this virtuous solution still presents some problems to studyand solve: this work aims to illustrate some of these issues, and provides indicationson the aspects to be analyzed and solved.Keywords: Circular economy, Concrete, Post-consumer plastics, Recycling, Sustainablebuilding materials.39
