ABSTRACT: There is a rapid increase in generation of waste plastics all around the world due to Economic Growth, Changing Consumption and Production Patterns. The world's annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tonnes. Thus, presently 20 times more plastic is produced as compared to 50 years ago. In Asia and the Pacific, as well as many other developing regions, plastic consumption has increased much more than the world’s average due to rapid urbanization and economic development. So, with this, more and more resources are being used to meet the increased demand of plastics, which results in higher generation of plastic waste. After food waste and paper waste, plastic waste is the third major constitute at municipal and industrial waste in cities. Even the cities with low economic growth have started producing more plastic waste due to increased use of plastic packaging, plastic shopping bags, PET bottles and other goods/appliances using plastic as the major component. This situation gets worsened due to the fact that they are not even aware of the ill -effects of plastic waste to environment. Due to extremely long periods required for natural decomposition, waste plastic is often the most visible component in waste dumps and open landfills. Plastic waste recycling can provide an opportunity to collect and dispose off, plastic waste in the most environmental friendly way and conversely, it can be converted into a resource. Due to growing concern about the disposal off plastic waste, and the panic in the current environmentalist, the object of this thesis was chosen as “Soil Stabilisation Using Polypropylene as Waste Fibre Material” which is one of the type of the plastic waste.
