INTRODUCTION
• Plastic waste is clogging our waterways, overflowing landfills, leaching into soil,
and dispersing through the air, polluting every natural resource in our environment
as a result of the accumulation of plastic waste over time and the absence of
appropriate disposal methods.

• Divider blocks are used for separation of road lanes.
• As the requirement of strength for divider blocks is less that is why we are adding
LOW DENSITY POLYETHELENE in these blocks.
OBJECTIVES
• To minimize the plastic waste.

• To study the properties of plastic.
• To analyze the effect of plastic on strength of concrete.
• To use plastic as an alternative material for
construction.
• To compare the cost of conventional and waste plastic
block.

Anuj Verma industry—is in demand. The proposed paver block is expected to be
more affordable than cement concrete paver block.
4. Production of plastic paver Nivetha C., Rubiya M., 2017 As a result, we have come to the conclusion that solid waste (such as

5. Experimental design of AnamarieCotto-Ramos 2017 Plastic and fly ash are used in place of Portland cement and natural coarse
concrete mixtures using aggregate. The mechanical qualities of this concrete are enhanced by the
recycled plastic, fly ash, introduction of silica nanoparticles. The suggested concrete mix is capable of

combinations, this alternative concrete is less porous.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Globally, 2 billion tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is generated each year.
Of which India accounts for 16% of total MSW, more than USA and China. That's
320 million tonnes every year. Out of 320 million tonnes, only 50% is recycled
(official tally). Experts believe it's less than 25%. The remaining is dumped in open
landfills. Causing various issues relating to health, environment and quality of life.
At this rate, it is estimated that by 2030 India will need an area equal to that of
Delhi to dump its MSW every year, which is a serious issue for a country as dense
as ours, where land is scarce and expensive.
Our study aims to resolve this issue by using a certain category of solid waste in
divider blocks , replacing conventional divider blocks, so as to maximize waste
utilization. In doing this , we not only aim to recycle waste but also find a cheaper
alternative of divider blocks.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
• Portland cement and natural aggregates can be replaced

with recycled plastic and additional cementitious
ingredients to lessen the carbon footprint of the concrete
industry.
• Recycling waste products like plastic, fly ash, and rice husk
ash to make up for a shortage of natural resources and
discover alternate methods of environmental preservation.
• Plastic reuse is essential in solving a different issues
because it effectively turns waste plastic into
environmentally friendly building materials. When this
procedure is applied, no waste is produced.
CONCLUSION
1. In conclusion, utilizing a certain percentage of waste plastic in divider blocks offers
numerous benefits, including environmental protection, resource conservation, energy
savings, cost-effectiveness, and meeting market demand for sustainable materials. By
embracing this approach, we can contribute to a more circular economy and a greener
future.
2. After careful consideration of the available information, it can be concluded that using a
certain percentage of waste plastic in divider blocks is a beneficial approach.
Incorporating waste plastic into the production of divider blocks offers several advantages
and supports sustainable practices in construction and manufacturing.
3. Concrete made from waste plastic waste can be incredibly helpful for low load-bearing
buildings like partitions and decorative tiles.
4. Waste plastic added to concrete reduces its elasticity modulus.
5. This has led to innovations in recycling technologies and the development of new products
and applications.
6. Waste plastic into the manufacturing of divider blocks can potentially save energy
compared to using materials.
7. The size, shape, amount and roughness of the plastic particles as well as the water-cement
ratio have a considerable impact on the workability of concrete made from plastic waste.
