| Abstract: | In our daily life we come across with many different types of Plastics. According to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), total plastic waste which is collected and recycled in India is estimated to be 9,205 tons per day (approx. 60% of total plastic waste) and 6,137 tons (40%) remain uncollected and littered. This 40% mainly includes thin plastic bags. In the present work we have attempted to make bricks from waste plastic and sand. This brick is resistant to oil, water, salts and acids. It is more durable as compared to other bricks and can withstand temperature up to 180 degree Celsius. We feel this can be an effective way of recycling waste plastic bags in the near future. Further the same material can be used effectively filling potholes on Indian roads. The bricks were subjected to various tests like temperature variation, resistance to acids, fire and saline water, compressive strength and hardness strength and showed superior performance to the material presently used on roads. It is found that these methods can be an effective way to recycle plastic bags which otherwise remain out of the recycling process. These bricks can thus help in reducing pollution caused due to plastic bags. It can replace pavement blocks for better road as it is made from plastic. It doesn’t allow water to seep hence it is expected to have better lifespan compared to that of concrete blocks. |
