This includes thinking about savings in the use of raw materials, a contribution to the energy efficiency of buildings during their useful life, and a reduction in the generation and deposit of waste in landfills. In this research, an analysis of the thermal properties of gypsum composites added with plastic waste is carried out using the most common methods, the steady state method and the transient plane source method, and the effect of water saturation on these composites is tested. The results show an improvement in the thermal performance of the composites (values reduced with respect to the reference by 4\u20137%), despite their heterogeneity, as well as a variation in the measurements carried out, depending on the method used for the measurements (variation up to 10%). It is also found that the degree of humidity negatively affects the thermal conductivity coefficient but, on the contrary, this coefficient is not altered in the composites with plastic waste, due to their lower hygroscopicity. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed eco-plasters are a good alternative to traditional plasters, with which to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the current European directives on waste and circular economy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17071663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,4]],"date-time":"2024-04-04T10:42:03Z","timestamp":1712227323000},"page":"1663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Assessment of the Thermal Properties of Gypsum Plaster with Plastic Waste Aggregates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3273-2914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandra","family":"Vidales-Barriguete","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda de la Edificaci\u00f3n, Escuela T\u00e9cnica Superior de Edificaci\u00f3n, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Avenida Juan de Herrera, 6, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1343-5578","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Barreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-LFC, Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0996-5372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susana","family":"Gomes Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-LFC, Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"#cr-split#-ref_1.1","unstructured":"El Parlamento Europeo y el Consejo de la Uni\u00f3n Europea (2018).
