Use of Recycled Low-Density and High-Density Polyethylene Waste Sachets to Form Plastic Bonded Building Tiles

Plastic is a non-degradable substance which takes thousands of year to decompose that creates land as well as water pollution to the environment. The quantity of plastic waste in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is expanding rapidly. It is estimated that the rate of usage is double for every 10 year. Plastics are rapidly growing segment of the Municipal Solid Waste. Disposal of waste materials including waste plastic bags has become a serious problem. Amount of Waste plastic bags being accumulated in 21st century has created big challenges for their disposal. In this research, waste LDPE and HDPE bags and bottles have been melted to form plastic tiles. The effect of waste plastic, the compressive strength and water absorption are reported. The waste plastic in household is large and increases with time in each country waste consumption is different, since it is unaffected by socioeconomic characteristics and waste management programs, but the level of plastics in waste consumption is high. In order to overcome this issue, we have to use it in effective way. The general objective of this research work was to contribute to the environment decontamination. Its specific objective is to develop sustainable building tiles from ecological point of view. The technology contribute in the decontamination of the environment since it uses waste material that are burned in municipal land without any used or accumulated and burned in land fill causing pollution , plastic and rubber are non-biodegradable so nature cannot observed that another ways. The potential for using this simple technology and the material to produces to transform LDPE and HDPE plastic waste management is discussed.
