MANUFACTURING OF PAVER BLOCK USING PLASTIC WASTE

Abstract

Abstract— In this project in mainly focus on replacing cement with plastic waste in paver block and reducing the cost of paver block when compared to that of conventional concrete paver blocks. At present nearly 56 lakhs tones of plastic waste are produced in India per year. The degradation rate of plastic waste is also a very slow process. Hence this project will helpful in reducing plastic waste. In India above 40% of fly ash is still unused. So, the fly ash infused in this plastic paver block. In this project we have used plastic waste in different proportions with M Sand, coarse aggregate and fly ash. The paver blocks were prepared and allowed to have compression test, oven test, absorption test and flexural tested and the results were of compared and discussed.
