Abstract

The aims of this study is to Reuse Plastic Waste dumped in Landfill sites of Country in manufacturing of Paver Blocks. Plastic waste is used as Binding material and replace cement to reduce the cost of paver block when compared to that of convention concrete paver blocks. At present nearly 56 lakhs tones of plastic waste is produced in India every year. The degradation rate of plastic waste is also a very slow process. Hence the study is helpful in reducing plastic waste in a useful way. In this study we have used plastic waste with Sand. The study bears on plastics with transparent bags and films in PP, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Plastic waste is melt and mixed with sand. The paver blocks were prepared and tested and the results were discussed. Keywords – Paver block, Plastic waste, Polyethylene terephthalate, Sand.
