The rapid increase in population and raw materials used in industrial products such as electronics, automotive, and packaging increase the demand for plastic use every year. Plastic products, which are useful for industrial use, cause pollution in the environment with the depletion of their economic life. It is desired to reduce environmental pollution by revaluing plastic products that have become waste through various methods. At the start of these evaluations, energy production, recycling, and making new things through incineration were talked about. Even if this conversion is completed, a significant amount of waste (35–55%) must be stored. Reducing the amount of waste by evaluating the stored plastic volume in concrete production can be an ideal solution. In this review article, studies on the use of plastic waste in concrete were examined in the literature. The examined studies evaluated the concrete properties, mechanical properties, and durability properties of concrete. In experimental studies, many different types of plastic have been used, such as micro, macro, and fiber. Studies in the literature have been evaluated in terms of the type of plastic, the parameter studied, and its effect on concrete performance, and are given in the results section. It has become an extremely useful compilation for researchers who will work on this subject.
