INTRODUCTION
Plastics can be made to different shapes when
they are heated in closest environment
It exists in the different forms such as cups,
furniture’s, basins, plastic bags, food and
drinking containers, and they are become waste
material.
plastic brick
Accumulation of plastic wastes can result
into hazardous effects to both human and
plant life.
Waste management in respect to plastic can
be done by recycling.

OBJECTIVE
To make use of the large hazardous waste plastic
in an effective manner.
To reduce the cost of construction materials by
using cost effective brick.

RAW MATERIALS
1. Waste plastics
plastics can be made to different shapes when
they are heated. in closest environment
it exists in the different forms such as cups,
furniture’s, basins, plastic bags, food and
drinking containers, and they are become waste
material
plastic brick
Accumulation of these waste is a great threat
to both humans and environment.

2. River sand
it is naturally occurring granular material which is
composed of mineral particles and finely divided
material.
The composition of sand varies depending on the
local rock conditions and sources, but the most
constituent of sand is silica dioxide (Sio2) in the
form of quartz.
Sand are now used in all the construction process.

3. Red oxide
It is an inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3.
It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other
two being iron (II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and
iron (II, III) oxide (Fe3O4), which also occurs
naturally as the mineral magnetite.
As the mineral known as hematite, Fe2O3 is the main
source of iron for the steel industry

PROCESS OF WASTE
COLLECTION

The properties of red oxide is to make color to the
bricks.
They are red, odorless and their density is 5.26 g/cm3.
their melting point is also at 2851 degrees Fahrenheit.

PLASTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Plastic is a good binder
Easy to work and shape.
Have a low production cost.
Possess low density
plastic brick
Tend to be waterproof,
Good electrical insulators*
Acceptable acoustic and thermal insulation.

2.Efflorescence test
o The presence of alkalis in bricks is harmful and
they form a grey or white layer on brick surface by
absorbing moisture.
o The plastic sand brick has low alkali content and
so a little white patch is formed over the surface

3.Fire resistance test
The Plastic is highly susceptible to fire
but in case of Plastic sand bricks, the presence of sand
imparts insulation.
There is no change in the structural properties of block
of bricks up to 180oC above which visible cracks are
seen and the /bricks deteriorate with increase in
temperature.

4. Hardness test
In this a scratch is made on brick surface
with steel rod
Difficult to made scratch on the bricks.
This shows the brick possess high quality.

ADVANTAGES
Use high percentage of plastic waste
Reduce the need for natural resources.
Compressive strength can be achieved at low cost of
production
New deleveopment of technology which is eco
friendly
Pollution can be reduce at a great extend
plastic brick
CONCLUSION
Plastic brick would be a boon for India's hot and
extremely humid climate where durable and ecofriendly
bricks will relive the earth from plastic waste .
The Plastic sand bricks possess more advantages which
include Cost efficiency, Removal of waste products
Reduction in the emission of greenhouse etc
plastic brick
This method is suitable for the countries which has the
difficult to dispose or recycle the plastic waste.
The natural resources consumed for the manufacturing of
Plastic sand bricks and Paver blocks are very much less
when compared to its counterparts
The manufacturing cost could be reduced further by
replacing the river sand with fly ash/quarry dust or other
waste products.
