Abstract: The connection of universities with new knowledge in various sciences leads to entrepreneurship and the progress of the economic development of universities. Countries with higher education institutions, in the shadow of practical research and development, are trying to strengthen the economic structure and entrepreneurship, and conduct basic research. Besides, higher education institutions are building science parks and implementing high-tech projects jointly with industry. New materials such as PVC and concrete have been created through scientific evolution between innovators and industry workers, which can be used as one of the most useful building materials. Among the advantages of these materials, we can point out their low cost compared to the high volume of their use, which has attracted the attention of most engineers, designers, employers, innovators and entrepreneurs. In this regard, the construction industry is also a huge consumer of natural resources and at the same time a waste producer, which is solved by this number of graduate students. In this article, we intend to investigate the engineering properties and environmental effects of green materials prepared with PVC waste powder using designers, innovators and entrepreneurial ideas. Many studies have been conducted on the chemical decomposition of PVC to transform PVC into other products, so investigating the possibility of recycling PVC and reusing it in the production cycle is an important issue in the discussion of waste. One of the proposed ways is to replace river sand with PVC waste to prepare concrete, which can be considered one of the environmentally friendly activities of employers, innovators and entrepreneurs. The obtained results show that there is a great demand for the production of natural materials as non-renewable materials with better support for the economy of countries such as China or with high waste.
