As the world population is increasing day by day, the usage of the resources also increasing, with which different varieties of wastes are being generated, creation of non-decaying and low biodegradable waste materials, combined with a growing consumer population has resulted in waste disposal crisis. The solution to the waste disposal crisis is to recycle the waste into useful products. Variety of research projects concerning the environmental suitability and performance of waste plastics in construction and reuse of waste plastics to save our world from pollution. At present situation, the concrete being the area of high interest leads to the most frequent use of concrete in sustainable construction material. The usage of natural fibre as well as artificial fibre in the concrete mixture as fibre reinforcement effectively improved strength and durability requirements of high performance cement composites. The agricultural waste [natural fibre], which are dumped on the lands available at low cost are utilized in the cement bricks to increase its performance. The increased productivity of waste leads to imbalance and irreparable damage to the environment. This project deals with the reuse of waste plastics, coir fibre and Areca. The waste plastic, coir fibre and Areca Fibre were incrementally added in 1%, 2%, 3%,4% in the cement block mixture, tests were conducted on compressive strength of cement blocks.
