Abstract

In India, solid waste disposal is one of the most pressing environmental issues. Landfills are becoming rarer, and the cost of constructing landfills is rising. However, the proportion of plastics in waste is typically high. Polyethylene is the most common form of plastic waste, followed by polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polystyrene. The most commonly used building material on the planet is concrete. The use of waste and recycled materials in concrete mixes for paver blocks is becoming highly necessary in order to handle and process both industrial and urban solid waste. These blocks were rectangular and were about the same size as the bricks. The block form has evolved steadily over the last five decades, from non-interlocking to multiple interlocking forms. The use of non-biodegradable plastic waste is increasing in the world, posing a threat to the environment in many ways. This research shows how waste plastic can be used to make concrete paver blocks, and how this can be a cost-effective way to dispose of plastic waste.
