Abstract

Waste plastic pollution is a major problem of today, plastic waste is non-biodegradable substance which cannot decompose and creates water, land and air pollution but we can recycle, reuse the plastic waste with many way. Also in production of paver block/tile manufacturer uses clay, but excessive use of clay result of resources depletion and environment degradation, we decided to utilize waste plastic in manufacturing of paver block/tile. The plastic waste is available in large quantity and hence cost factor comes down, different shades can be obtained by mixing coloring agent such as ferric oxide. By making plastic-sand bricks waste plastic can be recycled and also use of clay will reduce. We observe that with increasing bitumen ratio in mixture the hardness and fire resisting capacity of paver block increases.
