Abstract

Polythene or plastic bags are largely used of packaging; big industries to small scale industries including shopkeepers are dependent upon polythene for packaging. Overall population is using polythene bags and these bags classified under various head, but majorly low density polythene are used for local purpose. Disposal of these polythene is again an issue, harder polythene can be re-used or recycled but low density plastic bags are cannot be re-used nor recycled. In this project low density polythene bags are added in concrete and this concrete is checked for compressive strength.
