• Recycled Plastic Pin (RPP)• Mainly Polymeric Materials• Fabricated from Recycled Plastics
• Advantages• Commercially Available• Use of RPP Reduces Waste Volume• Resistant to Biological Exposure
• Typical Composition• HDPE : 55-90%• LDPE : 5-10%• PP, PET, PS : 1% - 10%• Misc. : 0 – 5%
A 10’ long RPP can replace 500 Soda Bottles

• RPP provided resistance against shallow slope failure• A Crawler-Mounted Rig, Equipped with a Mast-Mounted Pseudo Vibratory
Hammer, Worked Effectively to Install RPPs• On Average, a RPP Can be Installed within 4 Minutes, and a Total of 100 to 120
RPPs can be Installed in a Single Day.• Settlement at Control Section is 15 inch• Settlement at Reinforced Section 1 is 2.5 inch.• Closer RPP Spacing at Crest Provided Higher Resistance against Slope
Deformation• RPP can save the stabilization cost up to 60% - 80% of conventional technique,
and have potential to be a effective sustainable alternative to stabilize shallow slope failure.
