The present invention relates to a process for producing a pore-containing granulate, comprising the following steps: a) producing a foamed mass using sand, hydraulic binder, foaming agent and water, b) pouring the foamed mass into a filling mould, c) partially curing the mass over a first period of time at ambient pressure to form a green block having a first target strength, and d) demoulding the green block, the process comprising the further steps e) splitting the green block into at least two sub-blocks, l) further curing the sub-blocks over a second period of time at ambient pressure until a second target strength is reached and g) breaking the sub-blocks to form pore-containing granulate with a desired particle size distribution. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process for the production of a pore-containing artificial stone which contains the granulate as an additive.

A conglomerate for making road pavements is described, said conglomerate comprising a binder, preferably bitumen, a heavy inert material, preferably sand and/or gravel and/or filler, between 2.0% and 40% by weight of an elastomeric powder and/or granulate, and between 0.1% and 12% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer, preferably PE, PET or EVA in the form of granules or fibres; a method for making the conglomerate is also described, comprising the use of a compound which includes rubber powder and the polymer in suitable proportion.

The present invention provides particular a novel composition for manufacturing plastic composites and a process thereof. Said invention provides a composition and a process utilizes any or all kind of plastic waste in manufacturing composites and thereby is economical and environment friendly. It utilizes any or all kind of plastic wastes includes road waste, soft & hard form of plastic waste. Moreover, it eliminates the use of cement and utilizes plastic wastes in manufacturing composites; therefore is environment friendly. Said present compositions utilizes plastic waste in manufacturing light weight composites that are highly stable with increased strength, shelf life and durability. Said composition is fire resistant with increased strength withstanding heavy load.
