Abstract
Replacement of concrete paver blocks using waste plastic is a simpler way of providing paver blocks at a cost-effective price and better usage. It requires a multi-faceted approach to be addressed. Plastic waste is an increasingly concerning issue that has significant environmental and health implications. Plastic waste is generated from a variety of sources, including single-use plastics, and packaging materials. Plastic production has overtaken most man-made materials including metals and has long been under environmental scrutiny. Most plastic wastes are accumulated in landfills, the natural environment, and oceans. It is seen that with the current trend of global production and waste management, approximately 12000 million metric tons of plastic will accumulate in landfills and in the natural environment by the year 2050.
