Plastic waste management is a prominent issue in consideration of land and Ocean pollution. Every year 5.58 billion tons of single use plastic is produced in India and only 60% is been recycled. The plastic recycling is not affordable because of the need of segregation of various plastics from the waste and cleaning of the plastic waste is not economical. Considering this problem the project proposes a solution of converting these plastic to a paver block in specifically design machine without cleaning and segregation. In this machine the plastic waste and casting sand waste will be converted to a paver block. The machine works on simple principle of heating the plastic, mixing it with the sand and solidifying into a solid paver block. The paver block prepared from plastic are durable and affordable in cost.
