Abstract

The main goal of our study is to explore the possibility of re-cycling a plastic drum waste material that is now produced in large quantities in the formulation of concrete as coarse aggregate by substitution of a variable percentage of coarse aggregate(10, 20, and 30%).The results of this investigation consolidate the idea to use of PDW in the field of construction, especially in the formulation of concrete. The material is the renewable resource so it use in flied number oftime‘s. Therefore its recycling is interesting to research and development of technologies for minimizing the problems caused by this waste in future generation.As much as 60 % of both industrial and urban plastic waste is recycled which obtained from various sources. People in India have released plastic wastes on large scale have huge economic value, as a result of this, recycling of waste plastics plays a major role in providing employment.
