BoTiles: Utilizing glass bottles and polymer resin as a substitute for the production of composite tile – Making machine for splash board

Domestic Glass waste is one of the prevalent solid waste that can be reused or recycle. According to research, there is about 3.35 million tons of cullet was recycled annually. There are different process and ways in recycling the glass wastes and including here was converting it into useful material. Research has shown that by proper procedure, glass wastes can be converted into an aggregate which can be used as for construction purposes. Aggregates could not stand alone without the aid of a binding agent. The researcher considered the polymer as a binding agent because according to research, the components of the polymer resin, once mixed to the aggregates, could gave a strong composite material. The primary objective of the research was to develop a machine that will convert the glass bottles, and with the aid of polymer resin as a binding-agent, into a tile. A test for the strength of materials was also conducted to determine the durability of the product. Further tests and design are needed to be considered to further enhance the project.
