Study on Paving Blocks Using Plastic Waste

The disposal of plastic trash in the environment is considered a major issue because of its low biodegradability and abundance. As a result, developing alternate garbage disposal technologies that are environmentally beneficial is becoming a major study topic. The use of scrap plastic in paver block manufacture is a cost-effective approach to dispose of plastic trash. Paver block pavement is adaptable, visually pleasing, practical, and economical. These blocks are simple to manufacture, transport, install, and maintain, and they may be replaced in a short period of time. This idea uses PVC plastic trash to help the environment by reducing pollution. Durability, corrosion resistance, greater heat, cold, and sound insulation, energy savings, low weight, and economic value are all advantages of using plastic in concrete. The rate of decomposition of plastic garbage is also very sluggish. As a result, the project contributes to a useful reduction of plastic waste. In this research, we combined plastic trash with fine and coarse gravel in various quantities. The paver blocks were created and put to the test, with the results being discussed.
