Soil adaptation is an improvement of soil physical properties, for example, shear quality, the bearing limit to be possible through use of compaction or the expansion of appropriate admixtures such as cement, sand, fly ash or geo textiles, geo-synthetics, etc. Extended soils such as black cotton are always problems with swelling and shrinking and unequal settlement of foundation. Black Cotton soils with high swelling and contracting potential are one of India's main soil deposits because of a change in moisture content. The foundations of any structure must be necessary and be able to assist the entire structure. The soil around it plays a very important role to establish the foundation to be strong. Plastic waste is one of the world's biggest issues. Use of plastic sacks, bottles and other plastic materials increases step by step exponentially. We face different ecological problems because of this. The new method of soil adaptation can be used adequately to tackle society's difficulties, reduce waste quantities, and generate valuable material from non-helpful waste. There is a review paper here that focuses on stabilizing soils through the use of plastic waste. In order to monitor improvement in the properties of Soil tests such as liquid and plastic limit, standard proctor compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR), and a direct scissors test were conducted. The black cotton soil is fitted with different plastic waste content by weight ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% and the optimal proportion of plastic strips was detected by the California bearing ratio test 2% to 10% cement is used as a stabilizer.
