LDPE plastic ( Low Density Polyethylene), sand.

The aim of this project is to replace cement with LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) plastic waste in paving tiles and to reduce the cost of paving tiles when compared to that of convention concrete paving tiles. At present nearly 56 lakhs tones of plastic waste is produced in India per year. The degradation rate of plastic waste is very slow process. Hence the project is helpful in reducing plastic waste in a useful way. This study has been undertaken to investigate the tile prepared from the waste plastic which can be recycle and make plastic granules, sand which is mix in proportion determinants. Samples of 300mm X 300mm X 10mm size samples are prepared at normal temperature and are tested for flexure and abrasion. This material used in these tiles is an alternative to the traditional material. Plastic being reused can help to control over dumping and resulting pollution. Casting and curing of tiles does not need water at all. The tiles can be a better alternative to the concrete or other traditional tiles. In this project paving tiles were prepared and tested and the results were discussed.
