“The key challenge here was to have a limit between a small reduction in strengths, which we achieved, and using an appropriate amount of plastic to make it worthwhile,” said Orr, previously of Bath University and now a lecturer in concrete structures at Cambridge. “It is really a viable material for use in some areas of construction that might help us to tackle issues of not being able to recycle the plastic and meeting a demand for sand.”

The charts also show the hourly, natural light levels of a greenhouse design in two different locales and throughout the seasons. Different seasons are represented by different colored blocks and, for comparison, the reference (indoor standard) light level is represented by yellow blocks.
