Study on the Potential of Fabricated Non-Biodegradable Plastic Waste (N-BPW) Liner as Alternative to Conventional Geomembrane

Abstract:

This study investigates the potential application of Non-Biodegradable plastic waste (N-BPW) from household (plastic food packaging (PFP)) namely plastic snack packaging (PSP) and plastic bread packaging (PBP) as an alternative to conventional liner material in landfill. The samples were prepared into a single and fabricated layer. The fabricated layers were prepared by applying hot-pressing technique to joint between layers. Then the prepared liners were tested for its chemical and physical properties through Ultimate Tensile Strength Test (UTS) and Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The tested samples were compared with conventional geomembrane. Obtained results from FTIR showed that proposed PFP had 70% similar characteristics to geomembrane. In addition, the fabricated samples can sustain high maximum load as compared to conventional geomembrane based on UTS. The proposed liners offer an option to the landfill operators in choosing a good reusable material at a lower cost, solved N-BPW landfilling problems and has great potential to promote as an alternative landfill liner.
