Abstract

Plastic waste is a non-biodegradable waste which takes thousands years to decompose and it becomes a global concern. If we throw plastic waste on the ground it causes soil pollution when its burn it causes air pollution and when we threw in the water bodies it causes water pollution, which effects the aquatic plants and animals. The percentage of the plastic waste is increasing rapidly. And the recycle of plastic waste percentage is so less, which in return it causes a major impact to the global warming. As a Civil Engineer we have to innovate something new which will not cause much harmful to our environment. So here we try to do something innovative a plastic bricks. It is most economical solution present in the construction industry and it also environment friendly solution of plastic waste. We observe that a characteristic of plastic bricks is far much better than normal bricks.
