There is known that the plastic fraction of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEEP) contains an important amount of brominated flame retardants and heavy metals, which suppose a risk to the health of humans and the environment preservation. In order to transform this waste into a useful and non-hazardous material, we developed a novel stabilization strategy. A core-shell recycled plastic aggregate (RPA) consisting of grinded WEEEP (core) and a mixture of cement and several additives such as a very fine aggregate, clay or activated charcoal (shell) was obtained. We proved that the core-shell strategy, in which cement-activated charcoal shell was employed, produces a stabilization of the hazardous compounds. Compression strength tests showed that RPAs could be used as replacement for sand in cement mortar.
