The aim of the project is to recycle the plastic waste into a paver block and to reduce the cost of the paver block when compared to that of a convention concrete paver block. Plastic waste has become a major problem these days. As plastic is non bio degradable material it blocks drains, pollutes rivers, and wreaks havoc on the environment. As the degradation of the plastic waste is a very slow process so here is an idea of mixing sand into melted salvaged plastic to make a solid, durable material as a paving slab. Hence, we have an “eco-friendly” paving block. Unlike other processes of making paver blocks, which involves cement as a binding material. Instead, we approach melted plastic waste(PW) for binding the fine aggregates with a small proportion of crushed waste glass and aluminum foil dust. The proposed process is non-destructive in that the blocks are merely baked at low temperature, sufficient to melt the waste plastic that gets diffused within the body of the blocks. The compressive strengths after addition of waste plastic are same as normal block strength. And also reduce the water absorption capacity of block is reduced compare with nominal block. PW is used in varying proportions of 50% and 60% to replace cement and tested to achieve satisfactory results. The blocks are likely to add energy efficiency in buildings and help create economic value to manufacturers, thereby, encouraging the ecosystem of plastic waste management involving all actors in the value chain.
