Abstract The utilization of construction materials based on polymers is considerably limited by their low fire-safety and insignificant durability. In this paper the investigations results of construction on composite including up to 30% of the volume of foam polyethylene waste are discussed. Its destruction during the fire action and also utilization is limited by a cement concrete matrix which has a traditional composition. The composition optimization to thermal conductivity value is carried out The aggregate of amorphous structure in the form of ash-slag waste is used to decrease concrete thermal conductivity.
