- the opening shape of the nozzle is the same as the shape of the paving material 1 when viewed in the length direction L. Therefore, the molded body that emerges from the nozzle has the back side recess 12, front side recess 15, etc. formed in the desired shapes.
- Each side of the main body 10 and the opening end of each back side recess 12 are, for example, rounded.
- the molded body formed in the extrusion process is cut in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the molded body is extruded. This makes it possible to obtain molded bodies of the desired dimensions.
- the back-side recess 12 and the front-side recess 15 are each provided to penetrate the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction L. With this configuration, the back-side recess 12 and the front-side recess 15 can be easily formed in the main body 10 by extrusion molding.
- each part of the main body 10 may be formed by grinding the molded body after the extrusion process.
- the molding temperature of the extruder varies depending on factors such as the type and content of the low-melting-point resin contained in the raw material mixture, but it is preferable to set it at 80°C or higher. This allows the low-melting-point resin particles to melt.
- a molded product can be obtained in which non-low-melting-point resin particles and wood particles are dispersed in the low-melting-point resin. Because wood particles decompose and gasify at temperatures above 190°C, which can cause bubbles to form in the molded product of the raw material mixture, it is preferable that the molding temperature of the extruder be below 190°C.
- the method for producing the paving material 1 (resin composition molded product) of this embodiment may also include an analysis step.
- the analysis step is carried out before the mixing step.
- the analysis step is a step for analyzing the composition of the resin composition powder.
- the ratio of the content of low-melting point resin to the content of non-low-melting point resin in the resin composition powder can be used as the composition of the resin composition powder.
- the content of low-melting-point resin and non-low-melting-point resin in a resin composition powder can be analyzed by, for example, separating the low-melting-point resin and non-low-melting-point resin using the difference in specific gravity between the two, and then measuring the content of each separated resin.
- a resin composition powder is immersed in a heavy liquid as a sample powder.
- the amount of floating matter rising to the surface of the heavy liquid and the amount of sediment that sinks are measured.
- the floating matter is scooped out of the heavy liquid.
- the sediment is recovered by filtering the heavy liquid after all of the floating matter has been scooped out.
- the recovered floating matter and sediment are washed with water and then dried, and the amounts of floating matter and sediment are measured.
- the amount of floating matter is then taken as the content of low-melting-point resin, and the amount of sediment is taken as the content of non-low-melting-point resin. This allows the content of low-melting-point resin and non-low-melting-point resin to be measured quickly and accurately.
- the specific gravity of the heavy liquid can be, for example, 1.08 to 1.13. This allows for more accurate measurement of the content of low-melting-point and non-low-melting-point resins.
- the heavy liquid can be, for example, an organic solvent such as ethylene glycol, or an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt such as sodium chloride.
- the particle size of the sample powder can be 3 mm or less.
- resin powder that would normally settle in the heavy liquid may float to the surface.
- the mixing ratio of the resin composition powder to the melting point resin-containing powder and/or the non-low melting point resin-containing powder may be adjusted in the mixing step based on the ratio of the low melting point resin content to the non-low melting point resin content in the resin composition powder obtained in the analysis step.
- the ratio of low-melting point resin to non-low-melting point resin in the resin composition powder is determined during the analysis process, and the content of low-melting point resin and non-low-melting point resin is adjusted to an appropriate component ratio during the mixing process, so the viscosity of the molten raw material mixture can be maintained at a stable level. This improves moldability during extrusion. This makes it possible to use plastic waste in shapes that are difficult to mold, further expanding the scope of applications for the effective use of plastic waste.

- step S2 is carried out, in which the second base 52 is placed on the first base 51.
- the second base 52 is, for example, basa mortar or mortar. Basa mortar or the like is placed on the first base 51 to form a layer of basa mortar or the like. This is then cured, for example, for about two weeks.
- any dirt or other impurities on the top surface of the second base 52 are removed using a sander, scraper, wire brush, high-pressure washer, or the like.
- a water absorption adjuster is applied to the top surface of the second base 52 to adjust the water absorption of the second base 52.
- process S1 of placing the first base 51 on the ground G and the process S2 of placing the second base 52 on the first base 51 correspond to the process of placing a base on the ground G.
- step S3 is carried out, in which a first adhesive 53 is placed on the second base 52.
- the first adhesive 53 is, for example, mortar.
- a paste-like mortar is prepared as the first adhesive 53.
- the paste-like first adhesive 53 is applied to the upper surface of the second base 52.
- the first adhesive 53 is rubbed onto the second base 52 to adhere the first adhesive 53 and the second base 52 together.
- the first adhesive 53 is applied over the first adhesive 53 on the second base 52.
- the thickness of the first adhesive 53 applied over the second base 52 is, for example, in the range of 3 mm to 4 mm for the two layers combined.
- step S4 is carried out to place the second adhesive 54 on the back surface F2 of the paving material 1.
- the second adhesive 54 is, for example, mortar. Mortar paste is prepared as the second adhesive 54.
- the paste-like second adhesive 54 is applied to the back surface F2 of the paving material 1.
- the second adhesive 54 is filled into the internal space 12a of each back recess 12.
- the second adhesive 54 is placed from the back surface F2 into the internal space 12a of each back recess 12. Note that the second adhesive 54 does not have to fill the entire internal space 12a of the back recess 12, and may only fill a portion of the internal space 12a of the back recess 12 on the open end side.
- the bonding process S5 is performed.
- the paving material 1 with the second adhesive 54 applied to its back surface F2 is placed on the first adhesive 53 applied to the second base 52. This bonds the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54. At this time, the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54 are bonded in a paste state.
- Multiple paving materials 1 are arranged in the desired pattern on the first adhesive 53 applied to the second base 52. Adjacent paving materials 1 may be spaced apart or abutting. The multiple paving materials 1 may be arranged so that the length directions L of each paving material 1 are parallel or intersecting.
- the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54 harden, the paving material 1 and the second base 52 are bonded together by the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54.
- the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54 correspond to adhesives.
- joint filling process S6 is carried out.
- Joint material is filled between adjacent paving materials 1.
- the joint material is, for example, joint sand. If excess first adhesive 53 or second adhesive 54 is present between adjacent paving materials 1, the excess first adhesive 53 or second adhesive 54 is removed with a joint trowel or the like prior to the joint filling process S6.
- the paving material 1 of this embodiment provides the following effects:
- the paving material 1 comprises a main body 10 having a mating front surface F1 and back surface F2.
- the main body 10 is provided with at least one back recess 12 that extends in the length direction L and opens to the lower side T2 in the thickness direction.
- the back recess 12 has at least one engaging recess 13 with an inner peripheral surface 12b formed to sandwich at least one of the ends of the internal space 12a in the width direction W in the thickness direction T.
- the paving material 1 becomes more susceptible to warping.
- warping of the paving material 1 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easier to make the paving material 1 low-profile.
- the engagement recess 13 is located at two different positions in the thickness direction T, with the width W dimension of the internal space 13a at the upper thickness direction position T1 being larger than the width W dimension of the internal space 13a at the lower thickness direction position T2.
- This configuration makes it possible to further strengthen the anchor effect that occurs on the back surface F2 of the paving material 1, thereby more effectively suppressing warping of the paving material 1.
- the engagement recess 13 is a dovetail groove.
- This configuration makes it possible to further strengthen the anchor effect that occurs on the back surface F2 of the paving material 1, thereby more effectively suppressing warping of the paving material 1.
- the engagement recess 13 has an isosceles trapezoidal shape in which the width W dimension increases toward the upper side T1 in the thickness direction when viewed in the length direction L, it is possible to prevent the position of the paving material 1 from shifting in the width direction W in either direction of the width direction W. This makes it possible to effectively prevent the position of the paving material 1 from shifting.
- the main body 10 is provided with multiple engagement recesses 13 spaced apart in the width direction W.
- This configuration makes it possible to prevent the paving material 1 from separating from the ground G at multiple locations in the width direction W of the paving material 1. This effectively prevents the paving material 1 from warping in the width direction W.
- At least the rear recesses 12 at both ends in the width direction W each serve as an engagement recess 13.
- This configuration makes it easier to increase the distance between the engagement recesses 13 in the width direction W. This makes it possible to more effectively suppress warping of the paving material 1 in the width direction W.
- one engagement recess 13 is located on the opposite side of the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 from the other engagement recess 13.
- This configuration makes it possible to prevent the paving material 1 from separating from the ground G in the regions on each end side of the paving material 1 in the width direction W. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent warping of the paving material 1 in the width direction W.
- the multiple rear recesses 12 have at least one first engagement recess having an inner circumferential surface 12b formed to sandwich the end of one widthwise side W1 of the internal space 12a in the thickness direction T, and at least one second engagement recess having an inner circumferential surface 12b formed to sandwich the end of the other widthwise side W2 of the internal space 12a in the thickness direction T.
- the first engagement recess prevents the position of the paving material 1 from shifting to the other widthwise side W2 and the second engagement recess prevents the position of the paving material 1 from shifting to the one widthwise side W1. This effectively prevents the position of the paving material 1 from shifting.
- the paving material 1 contains wood particles.
- This configuration allows for the creation of a paving material 1 that has a texture similar to that of wood. This enhances the design of the paving material 1.
- the backside recess 12 can suppress the paving material 1 from absorbing water and expanding, as well as warping of the paving material 1 that would result from the paving material 1 absorbing water. This makes it possible to suppress warping of the paving material 1 while enhancing the design of the paving material 1.
- the paving material 1 contains a low-melting-point resin, and non-low-melting-point resin particles and wood particles dispersed in the low-melting-point resin.
- the low-melting-point resin has a melting point in the range of 80°C or higher and lower than 190°C.
- the non-low-melting-point resin particles contain at least one of a high-melting-point resin and a thermosetting resin with a melting point of 190°C or higher.
- the wood particles are dispersed in the low-melting-point resin. This prevents the wood particles from coming into contact with water, thereby reducing water absorption by the wood particles.
- Non-low-melting-point resin particles are dispersed in the low-melting-point resin. This prevents an increase in the water absorption of the paving material 1 while increasing the impact resistance of the paving material 1.
- the mixture of wood particles, non-low melting point resin particles, and low melting point resin is heated to melt the low melting point resin.
- the wood particles will gasify at high temperatures. This can cause bubbles to form in the molded product of the raw material mixture, which can mar the appearance of the molded product.
- the melting point of the low-melting resin is in the range of 80°C or higher and lower than 190°C. Therefore, the low-melting resin can be melted at a temperature in the range of 80°C or higher and lower than 190°C.
- gasification of wood particles can be suppressed. Therefore, the generation of bubbles in the molded product of the raw material mixture can be suppressed, while wood particles and non-low-melting resin particles can be dispersed in the low-melting resin.
- this configuration allows the paving material 1 to be made lighter, thereby improving workability when installing the paving material 1, etc.
- the paving material 1 is used with the back surface F2 facing the ground, with the adhesive in contact with the back surface F2.
- the method for constructing the paving material 1 includes step S1 of placing a first base 51 on the ground G, step S2 of placing a second base 52 on the first base 51, step S3 of placing a first adhesive 53 on the second base 52, step S4 of placing a second adhesive 54 on the back surface F2 of the paving material 1, and step S5 of joining the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54.
- step S4 in which the second adhesive 54 is placed on the back surface F2 of the paving material 1, the second adhesive 54 can be efficiently inserted into the internal space 12a of the back recess 12. This allows for a more efficient anchoring effect between the paving material 1 and the second base 52. This more efficiently prevents warping of the paving material 1.
- the main body 10 has five rear recesses 12 arranged in the width direction W.
- Each of the five rear recesses 12 has two engagement recesses 13.
- two or more engagement recesses 13 are provided on the main body 10 at intervals in the width direction W. In this case, warping of the paving material 1 in the width direction W can be more effectively suppressed.
- the five back-side recesses 12 include three that do not qualify as engagement recesses 13.
- the engagement recesses 13 and the back-side recesses 12 that do not qualify as engagement recesses are arranged alternately.
- the central back-side recess 12, and the back-side recess 12 furthest to the other widthwise side W2 are back-side recesses 12 that do not qualify as engagement recesses.
- the main body 10 may be provided with back-side recesses 12 that do not qualify as engagement recesses.
- one engagement recess 13 be located on the opposite side of the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 from the other engagement recess 13. In this case, warping of the paving material 1 in the width direction W can be more effectively suppressed.
- the internal space 12a of the back recess 12 that does not correspond to the engagement recess 13 has, for example, an isosceles trapezoidal shape when viewed in the length direction L, with the width direction W dimension decreasing toward the upper side T1 in the thickness direction.
- the shape of the internal space 12a of the back recess 12 that does not correspond to the engagement recess when viewed in the length direction L is not limited to this.
- the region of the inner circumferential surface 12b of one back-side recess 12 facing the other back-side recess 12 and the region of the inner circumferential surface 12b of the other back-side recess 12 facing the one back-side recess 12 extend parallel to each other in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L. This makes it easier to maintain a distance between adjacent back-side recesses 12, thereby improving the impact resistance of the paving material 1.
- the main body 10 also has at least one side recess 16 that opens in the width direction W.
- the opposing outer surfaces of the main body 10 in the width direction W are referred to as "side surfaces F3."
- the side recess 16 is recessed from the side surface F3.
- the side recess 16 is groove-shaped extending in the length direction L.
- the side recess 16 penetrates the main body 10 in the length direction L.
- the internal space 16a of the side recess 16 is triangular when viewed in the length direction L.
- the size of the recess in the side recess 16 is smaller than the size of the recess in the back recess 12.
- Multiple side recesses 16 are provided and lined up in the thickness direction T.
- the shape of the internal space 16a of the side recess 16 when viewed in the length direction L is not particularly limited.
- joint material or adhesive is placed between adjacent paving materials 1, the joint material or adhesive can penetrate into the internal space 16a of the side recess 16. Therefore, when the paving material 1 attempts to warp in the width direction W, the end of the paving material 1 in the width direction W gets caught on the joint material or adhesive. This helps prevent the paving material 1 from warping.
- At least one side recess 16 is provided on each of the opposing side surfaces F3, and more specifically, multiple side recesses 16 are provided on each. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent warping of the paving materials 1 when joint material or the like is placed between adjacent paving materials 1.
- side recesses 16 are not an essential component.
- the provision of the engagement recesses 13 in the main body 10 can adequately prevent warping of the paving material 1.
- a paving material 1 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 6.
- the following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment, and the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.
- the main body 10 is provided with 10 rear recesses 12. More specifically, the 10 rear recesses 12 are provided at equal intervals in the width direction W. As such, the number of rear recesses 12 is not particularly limited.
- the central back-side recess 12 (referred to as the "back-side recess 17") is located in the center of the width direction W of the main body 10.
- the raw material mixture tends to collect near the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 during molding. For this reason, there is a risk that the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 will bulge in the thickness direction T.
- a backside recess 17 is provided in the center of the width direction W of the main body 10. For this reason, even if the raw material mixture collects near the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 during molding, the excess raw material mixture will rise toward the internal space 17a of the backside recess 17. This prevents the back surface F2 of the main body 10 from becoming convex toward the lower thickness direction T2. This prevents poor molding of the paving material 1.
- the thickness direction T dimension of the internal space 17a of the rear recess 17 is smaller than the thickness direction T dimension of the internal space 12a of the rear recess 12 excluding the rear recess 17. This prevents a decrease in the impact resistance of the paving material 1.
- the internal space 17a of the rear recess 17 has a hemispherical shape that is convex toward the upper side T1 in the thickness direction when viewed in the length direction L.
- the back-side recess 12 located furthest to one widthwise side W1 is recessed from the end on one widthwise side W1 and the lower thicknesswise side T2 of the main body 10 toward the other widthwise side W2 and the upper thicknesswise side.
- the back-side recess 19A has an inner peripheral surface 12b (referred to as the “inner peripheral surface 19Bb") formed to sandwich the end on the other widthwise side W2 of its internal space 12a (referred to as the "internal space 19Aa”) in the thickness direction T. Therefore, the back-side recess 19A corresponds to an engagement recess and a second engagement recess.
- the back-side recess 12 located furthest to the other widthwise side W2 is recessed from the end on the other widthwise side W2 and the lower thicknesswise side T2 of the main body 10 toward the one widthwise side W1 and the upper thicknesswise side.
- the back-side recess 19B has an inner peripheral surface 12b (referred to as the “inner peripheral surface 19Bb") formed to sandwich the end on the one widthwise side W1 of its internal space 12a (referred to as the "internal space 19Ba”) in the thicknesswise direction T. Therefore, the back-side recess 19B corresponds to an engagement recess and a first engagement recess.
- the rear recess 12 does not necessarily have to be spaced apart from each end of the main body 10 in the width direction W.
- the four back recesses 12 located between the back recess 19A and the central back recess 17 have internal spaces 12a that, when viewed in the length direction L, form parallelogram shapes with diagonals of different lengths; more specifically, the parallelogram shapes incline toward the other widthwise side W2 as they move toward the upper thickness direction T1.
- the four back-side recesses 12 located between the back-side recess 19A and the central back-side recess 17 have inner circumferential surfaces 12b formed to sandwich the end of the internal space 12a on the other widthwise side W2 in the thickness direction T. Furthermore, in a cross-sectional view in the longitudinal direction L, in the region of the inner circumferential surface 12b of the back-side recess 12 on the other widthwise side W2 of the reference line SL, the distance between the inner circumferential surface 12b and the reference line SL at the upper thickness direction side T1 is greater than the distance between the inner circumferential surface 12b and the reference line SL at the lower thickness direction side T2, among two different positions in the thickness direction T. Therefore, the four back-side recesses 12 located between the back-side recess 19A and the central back-side recess 17 correspond to an engagement recess and a second engagement recess.
- the four back recesses 12 located between the back recess 19B and the central back recess 17 have internal spaces 12a that, when viewed in the length direction L, form parallelogram shapes with diagonals of different lengths; more specifically, the parallelogram shapes tilt toward one widthwise side W1 as they move toward the upper thickness direction T1.
- the four back-side recesses 12 located between the back-side recess 19B and the central back-side recess 17 have inner circumferential surfaces 12b formed to sandwich the end of their internal space 12a on one widthwise side W1 in the thickness direction T. Furthermore, in a cross-sectional view in the lengthwise direction L, in the region of the inner circumferential surface 12b of the back-side recess 12 on one widthwise side W1 of the reference line SL, the distance between the inner circumferential surface 12b and the reference line SL at the upper thickness direction position is greater than the distance between the inner circumferential surface 12b and the reference line SL at the lower thickness direction position T2. Therefore, the four back-side recesses 12 located between the back-side recess 19B and the central back-side recess 17 correspond to engagement recesses and first engagement recesses.
- the shape of the internal space 13a of the engagement recess 13 as viewed in the length direction L is not limited to that of the first embodiment.

- the width direction W dimension of the central back side recess 12 among the seven back side recesses 12 is larger than the width direction W dimension of the back side recesses 12 excluding the central back side recess 12 among the seven back side recesses 12. In this way, the width direction W dimensions of the multiple back side recesses 12 do not need to be the same.
- the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 and the internal space 12a of the rear recess 12 overlap in the thickness direction T.
- the internal space 12a of the rear recess 12 that overlaps with the center of the width direction W of the main body 10 has a larger width direction W dimension compared to the third embodiment. This makes it possible to prevent the main body 10 from becoming thicker near the center of the width direction W during molding over a wider area.
- a paving material 1 according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 8.
- the following description will focus on differences from the eighth embodiment, and the same components as those in the fourth embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

- the back-side recesses 12 provided in the region of the main body 10 closer to the other widthwise side W2 are not limited to first engagement recesses, but may be first engagement recesses or second engagement recesses.
- the multiple back-side recesses 12 provided in the region of the main body 10 closer to the one widthwise side W1 may have first engagement recesses and second engagement recesses.

- the back recess 12, front recess 15, and side recess 16 may be formed by recessing the outer surface of the main body 10, or may be formed between two protrusions protruding from the main body 10.
- the main body 10 has a generally rectangular plate shape overall, but the shape of the main body 10 is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the shape of the main body 10 in a plan view in the thickness direction T is also not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a square or a rectangle.
- the main body 10 may have at least one hollow portion.
- the main body 10 may have a hollow structure.
- the hollow portion extends in the length direction L. This makes it possible to suppress warping of the main body 10 in the length direction L.
- multiple hollow portions are provided in the main body 10, lined up in the width direction W. In this case, it is possible to suppress warping of the main body 10 in the width direction W.
- the hollow portion penetrates the main body in the length direction L. In this case, the hollow portion can be easily formed in the main body 10 by extrusion molding.
- the cross-sectional shape of the internal space of the hollow portion in the length direction L is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable that the inner surface of the hollow portion be formed in a curved shape.

- the shape of the engagement recess 13 is not limited to that of the above embodiments.
- the inner peripheral surface 13b of the engagement recess 13 may include a flat portion, a curved portion, or a stepped portion.
- the shape of the internal space 13a of the engagement recess 13 as viewed in the length direction L can be a variety of shapes, including a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or a combination thereof.

- the internal space 13a of the engagement recess 13 is narrower on the opening side than on the back side, which can favorably generate an anchor effect. Furthermore, this can prevent the main body 10 from becoming sharp near the opening of the engagement recess 13 and suppress stress concentration on the inner surface 13b of the engagement recess 13, thereby improving the durability of the main body 10.
- the rear recesses 12 are arranged at equal intervals, but they do not necessarily have to be arranged at equal intervals.
- the main body 10 is provided with a front-side recess 15, but the front-side recess 15 is not an essential component. There is no particular limit to the number of front-side recesses 15 provided on the main body 10. There are no particular limits to the size and shape of the front-side recesses 15 provided on the main body 10. Furthermore, if the main body 10 is provided with multiple front-side recesses 15, the multiple front-side recesses 15 may each have a different size and may each have a different shape.
- the main body 10 is provided with a side recess 16, but the side recess 16 is not a required component.
- the number of side recesses 16 provided on the main body 10 is not particularly limited.
- one of the pair of side surfaces F3 may be provided with a side recess 16, and the other side surface F3 may be provided with a side protrusion that is convex in the width direction W and can be inserted into the side recess 16.
- inserting the side protrusion 18 of one paving material 1 into the side recess 16 of the other paving material 1 can suppress warping of the paving materials 1.
- shifting of the paving materials 1 can be suppressed.
- the paving material 1 contains a low-melting-point resin and non-low-melting-point resin particles and wood particles dispersed in the low-melting-point resin, the melting point of the low-melting-point resin being in the range of 80°C or higher and lower than 190°C, and the non-low-melting-point resin particles containing at least one of a high-melting-point resin with a melting point of 190°C or higher and a thermosetting resin with a melting point of 190°C or higher, but the material of the paving material 1 is not particularly limited.
- the paving material 1 does not need to contain wood particles, or various resin materials.
- the paving material 1 is used with the back surface F2 facing the ground, with the adhesive in contact with the back surface F2, but this is not limited to this.
- the paving material 1 may be used with a portion of it buried in the ground. Even in this case, as long as soil or the like has penetrated into the back recess 12 and hardened to the extent that an anchoring effect can be generated, warping of the paving material 1 can be suppressed.
- the configurations of the above embodiments are preferred in that they can generate an anchoring effect more reliably.
- the construction method for paving material 1 is not limited to the methods described in the above embodiments.
- the construction method for paving material 1 is not limited to improved pressure-bonding.
- the first base 51 and the second base 52 are placed on the ground G, but the base placed on the ground G may be one layer, or three or more layers.
- the step of applying a second adhesive to the back surface F2 of the paving material is not a required component.
- the method for applying paving material 1 may include a step of applying paving material 1 without adhesive on top of a paste-like adhesive placed on the substrate.
- the method for applying paving material 1 can be modified as appropriate, as long as it is possible to ensure that the adhesive is in place within the engagement recess 13 of the main body 10 when the paving material 1 is in use.
- the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54 may be made of the same material or different materials. There are no particular limitations on the materials used for the first adhesive 53 and the second adhesive 54.
- waste materials 1 to 4 were used as plastic waste, with the low-melting point resin and non-low-melting point resin contents shown in Table 1 below.
- Wastes 1 to 4 are waste plastic residues derived from general waste that remain after low-melting point resin is separated and recovered from general waste.
- the ratio of low-melting point resin content to non-low-melting point resin content of waste materials 1 to 4 is lower than that of general waste. This makes material recycling difficult. Material recycling is particularly difficult for materials with a low-melting point resin content/non-low-melting point resin content ratio of less than 1.00.
- Recycled resin is low-melting point resin separated and recovered from general waste. Recycled resin has a high low-melting point resin content/non-low-melting point resin content ratio and is used for material recycling.
- Example 1 (Production of resin composition powder) Waste 1 was fed into a crusher and crushed. The crushed material obtained was subjected to a high-magnetic pulley-type magnetic separator with a magnetic force of 2000 gauss on the belt surface to remove iron-containing materials. Next, the crushed material from which the iron-containing materials had been removed was crushed in a uniaxial coarse crusher until it passed through a 50 mm mesh sieve, obtaining plastic fragments (crushing process). The magnetic materials contained in the obtained plastic fragments were removed and recovered using a hanging magnetic separator and a pulley-type magnetic separator (magnetic material removal process).
- non-magnetic metals contained in the plastic fragments were removed and recovered using a non-magnetic metal separator (non-magnetic metal removal process).
- the plastic fragments were crushed and washed using a wet crushing and washing machine until they passed through a 12 mm mesh sieve, obtaining coarse plastic particles (water washing process).
- the coarse plastic particles obtained in the wet grinding and washing machine were compressed and dehydrated using a volume reduction and compression dehydrator to reduce the volume, resulting in a coarse plastic powder with a moisture content of 0.5% by mass (volume reduction process).
- the coarse plastic powder was pulverized using a cutter mill-type pulverizer until it passed through a sieve with 2 mm openings (pulverization process).
- Method for producing resin composition molded article 60 parts by mass of resin composition powder, 30 parts by mass of wood powder, and 10 parts by mass of additives (a mixture containing pigments, compatibilizers, inorganic fillers, lubricants, and weather-resistant materials) were mixed at 150°C using a heater mixer. The resulting mixture was molded using an extruder equipped with a rectangular cross-sectional mold 30 mm thick and 300 mm wide to obtain a plate-shaped resin composition molded product. During extrusion molding, a backside recess with an engaging recess was formed in the resin composition molded product. The composition of the resulting resin composition molded product is shown in Table 3 below.
- the bending strength (three-point bending) of a full-scale specimen is measured in accordance with Method B of JIS A 5741:2016 (recycled wood-plastic composite materials).
- a bending strength of 20 MPa or more is rated as "S”
- 15 MPa or more but less than 20 MPa is rated as "A”
- 10 MPa or more but less than 15 MPa is rated as "B”
- less than 10 MPa is rated as "C”.
- Mold resistance The area of the sample on which mycelia have grown after two weeks is measured according to Method A specified in Appendix A (Testing of Plastic Products) of JIS Z 2911:2018 (Testing Methods for Mold Resistance). Mold resistance is rated as "A” if the growth area is less than 25%, "B” if it is 25% or more but less than 50%, and "C” if it is 50% or more.
- Example 2 to 16 Resin composition powder and wood flour were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the conditions for producing the resin composition powder and the wood flour were changed as shown in Table 2, and resin composition molded articles were produced using the obtained resin composition powder and wood flour.
- Table 3 shows the bending strength, water resistance, and mold resistance of the obtained resin composition molded articles.
- the results of Examples 1 to 16 confirmed that by performing the magnetic substance removal process, non-magnetic metal removal process, water washing process, and volume reduction process in accordance with the present disclosure, waste plastic residues that were previously used for thermal recycling can be used for material recycling.
- a paving material comprising a main body portion having a mating front and back surface, wherein the direction perpendicular to the back surface is defined as the thickness direction, the direction in the thickness direction when the front surface is viewed from the back surface is defined as the upper thickness direction, the direction in the thickness direction when the back surface is viewed from the front surface is defined as the lower thickness direction, one direction perpendicular to the thickness direction is defined as the length direction, and the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction and the length direction is defined as the width direction, the main body portion has at least one back recess extending in the length direction and opening to the lower side in the thickness direction, and the back recess has at least one engaging recess having an inner surface formed to sandwich at least one of the widthwise ends of the internal space in the thickness direction.
