In the world full of crises, also the rising demand for PPE suits and masks would lead to another wave of biomedical waste disposition crises. The disposal of thrown away wastes causes a serious issue as the waste are most of the time are non- biodegradable and these are also not fit for incineration. Soil stabilization improves the engineering properties of the weak soil, by proper compaction and additional materials such as lime, concrete, but these materials are becoming expensive day by day, hence plastic by the composition of egg shell powder could enhance the properties and can be a sustainable replacement for lime, concrete, etc. as stabilizer. Through much experimental investigation it has been showed that plastic and egg shell powder can be used as an effective stabilizer with encountering waste disposal problem as well, along with the economical solution for stabilizing weak soil. This PPE stripes/shredding are known for its high strength, low cost, significantly less dangerous for the environment. The combined effect of PPE stripes/shredding along with egg shell powder can enhance engineering properties of soil.
