Drive-throughs to driveways: high-strength composites from multi-material post-consumer waste collected from fast food restaurants
This study evaluates the use of post-consumer fast-food restaurant waste and elemental sulfur to create high-strength composite materials. Compressive strengths exceed those of C62 building brick and flexural strengths are competitive with OPC.
