Answer 2

plastic is used in various roles in home construction as listed below:

Sewage pipes

Water supply lines

Insulating coating on electrical wires

Frames for doors and windows etc.

But it is true that pure plastic is not used for structural components.

1. Plastics may be degraded under the action of direct sunlight which reduces their mechanical strength.
2. Many plastics are flammable unless treated.
3. Low modulus of elasticity: makes them unsuitable for load-bearing applications.

Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight, easy to mould, and recyclable – all key properties for construction materials. The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unfeasible and unprofitable. Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.
