“Utilization of Waste Plastic for Alternative Building Materials: A Review”

Abstract
Plastics are key resources in circular economy and recycling after the end of useful life with economic value creation and minimal damage to environment is the key to their sustainable management. The project elucidates about the use of plastic in civil construction. The component used include everything from plastic screws and hanger to bigger plastic parts that are used in decoration, electric wiring, flooring, wall covering and waterproofing. There has been a considerable imbalance between the availability of conventional building materials and their demand in the recent past. On the other hand the laterite quarry waste is abundantly available and the disposal of waste plastics (PET, PP,etc.) is a biggest challenge, as repeated recycling of PET bottles pose a potential danger of being transformed to a carcinogenic material and only a small proportion of PET bottles are being recycled. The bricks manufactured possess the properties such as neat and even finishing, with negligible water absorption and satisfactory compressive strength in comparison with laterite stone to satisfy the increasing demand of conventional building materials.
