Soil stabilization is the physical properties of soil in order to improve its strength, durability, or other parameters. It can be achieved by adding admixtures like cement, lime, waste material like fly ash, gypsum etc. the cost of these additives has increased in past few years; so there is need for development of other kind of soil additive such as a plastic, bamboo etc. The amount of plastic waste is growing yearly. Due to this the need of plastic waste management has increased so that it can be used as a soil stabilizer. The present study describes that the uses of waste plastic material, in the form of as a geo-cell matrix for improving the soil properties are useful because they are cheap. In this paper comparing the results of CBR value of natural soil with different percentage of waste plastic bottles used with soil and the strength of soil are increases. It is conclude that the use of waste plastic bottles to enhance properties of expansive soil is successful and beneficial.

Expansive soil, Waste plastic bottles, Waste management, Strength, CBR value.
