The study is devoted to the generalization of the existing world experience on the impact of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) products when they are added to concrete on its characteristics. Analysis of the available data shows the effectiveness of the use of PET fiber in a concrete matrix in order to recycle plastic waste, facilitate concrete structures, save cement consumption and improve the strength characteristics of concrete. But the researchers did not come to a consensus on the effective consumption of fiber during reinforcement, the influence of the shape of the fibers used on the properties of fiber concrete, as well as the areas of application of this material.

Keywords: concrete, concrete matrix, fiber, dispersed reinforcement, polyethylene terephthalate, tensile strength, compressive strength
