Abstract:

Plastic wastes are increasing at an alarming rate and adversely affecting the environment as they are not easily degraded. The amount of waste plastic bags being accumulated in the 21st century has created big challenges for their disposal. The waste plastic in the household is large and increases with time. In each country, waste consumption is different. This project is about recycling HDPE (High-Density Poly Ethylene) plastic into pavement blocks and studies their characteristics. Pavement blocks are perfect material on the pathways and streets for simple laying. The main aim is to use the plastic nature in the construction field with limited additions. It will be the most economical and can be applied in different forms. The limited additions are such as M-Sand and Sugarcane Bagasse ash. This Project acts as a compressive study between Conventional HDPE Paver blocks with the paver blocks that contain the above constituent materials mixed in it. This also absorbs less water than the Conventional Cement paver blocks used mostly. The research concluded that if made and put into use, these pavers will reduce construction costs, especially those for repairs, and assist in environmental conservation. Roads and parking yards will be cheaply constructed, and with the increased durability, accessibility and economic growth are improved.
