| Abstract | Minimizing wastes in Cagayan de Oro Bugo School of Arts and Trades (COBSAT) campus, specifically the increasing volume of sanitary pipes and electrical conduits generically known as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), triggered off this paper to its initial step. By applying the 3R's (reduce, reuse and recycle) method in minimizing waste products, the PVC wastes were shredded and converted into aggregate form. It was mixed with cement and sand, to find out if it has enough compressive strength required for a Paver for footpath application. The objective of the study is to recycle PVC waste mechanically. Specifically, it attempted to minimize waste by recycling PVC waste materials by shredding; mix PVC aggregates with cement and sand to produce a Paver, and use the Pavers for exterior flooring in some areas on the campus. The study would like to assess the result of the paver with the standard mixture of 1:2:3 (cement+sand+gravel) and with the new mixture of 1:2:3 (cement+sand+pvc aggregate). It utilized five samples of every mixture to be tested for compressive strength, weight, cost, thermal conductivity acceptability, and fall test. The study utilized the technical methods of research. This is applied research aimed at providing a solution to an individual problem technically. In this study, the researcher used PVC scraps which were made into aggregates by using a shredding machine. The aggregates were mixed with cement and sand to produce a Paver. The results showed that using the new mixture of 1:2:3 (cement+sand+pvc aggregate) is moderately acceptable regarding appearance and it is highly acceptable regarding cost. |
