Plastic waste which is increasing day by day becomes eyesore and in turn pollutes the environment, especially in high mountain villages where no garbage collection system exists. A large amount of plastic is being brought into the tourist trekking regions are discarded or burned which leads to the contamination of environment and air. Hence, these waste plastics are to be effectively utilized. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene (PE) bags are cleaned and added with sand and aggregate at various percentages to obtain high strength block that possess thermal and sound insulation properties to control pollution and to reduce the overall cost of construction, this is one of the best ways to avoid the accumulation of plastic waste which is an on-degradable pollutant. This alternatively saves the quantity of sand that has to be taken away from the precious river beds/mines. The plastic waste is naturally available in surplus quantity and hence the cost factor comes down. Also Coloring agents can be added to the mixture to attain desired shades. Hence in this project, an attempt is made to study regard the properties of the block which is manufactured using plastic wastes .Disposal of large quantity of plastic bottle has emerged as an important environmental challenge, and its recycling is facing a big problem due to non-degradable nature. Due to plastic does not decompose biologically, the amount of plastic waste in our surroundings is steadily increasing. The proposed plastic mould which is made up by adding plastic waste in crush form in plastic moulds may help to reuse the plastic waste as one of the additives material of sand and fine coarse aggregate, and to help the disposal problem of plastic waste. The properties of plastic mould which contain varying percentages of plastic were tested for compressive strength, water absorption and efflorescence. It shows that an appreciable improvement in the performance of moulds can be achieved by introducing crush type of plastic waste into plastic moulds. In view of utilization of plastic waste material for developing sustainable construction material, the present paper reviews plastic waste materials in different compositions of ratios (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5) that were added to the raw material to develop plastic moulds. The compression strength of the mould is reviewed and recommendations are suggested as the outcome of the study.
