The 21st century is facing a serious situation in waste management, especially Plastic waste. Plastic has many advantages but with it comes with many problems too. Being non-degradable for years, it has become a global problem in recycling it. PET being one of the most common consumer plastics as it is used to build many basic and day to day life products like bottles, containers for food industry and beverage industry. PET waste has become major environmental issue due to its various properties like non-biodegradability and gases released on incineration. Therefore, PET waste has to be utilized and recycled efficiently. Plastic bottles are used to store different substances for consumption and for other uses. Bottles used to package water takes over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. Recycling is only feasible in limited circumstances because only PET bottles can be recycled all other bottles are discarded and only 1 out of 5 bottles are sent to the recycle bin. So, there is a need for environment friendly constructive use of waste plastic bottles. This report consists of use of plastic waste bottle in construction as a brick which is filled with compacted sand or mud and other material, method and technique of use, its relative advantages over traditional bricks in this way plastic waste of bottle can be removed and reused safely for construction.
