Özet: Plastics are durable, insulating and lightweight materials. Since they can be produced with high shapeability, flexible or rigid usage area is also wide. The use of plastics in every sector of today means that the amount of waste inevitably increases with each passing day.The most important solution for the reduction of plastic wastes is the method of reduction at the source, and then reuse and recycling. Reuse of plastic wastes that have completed their lifetime after consumption as low as possible, or recycling in different functions in the building or in various sectors, are among the methods that strengthen waste reduction. Reducing plastic consumption, returning used plastic products to the industry is of great importance in the context of the country's economy as well as reducing the waste rate. In this study, the quantity of plastic used in Turkey and the methods for the reduction of waste plastic were evaluated. Then composite material studies using waste plastic to reduce plastic wastes and usage possibilities in the building are discussed with a detailed literature study.
