| Abstract | Plastic waste is carried to melt and mixed with a varying proportion of solid waste fly ash and quarry dust. In order to prevent the environment pollution caused by plastic waste, We decided to utilize it effectively in the manufacturing of paver blocks. Large amount of plastic wastes have been collected from several places such as tourist and public places etc., Low density polyethylene bags are collected, cleaned and used as a replacement for cement in the manufacturing of Paver Blocks. The molten state of plastic is added with Fine aggregate (sand) at different percentages to obtain high strength Paver Blocks that possess good thermal properties and compressive strength. |
