Abstract - The overall goal of this study article is to help
It is past time to consider producing cleaner sources of electricity given the nation's increasing demand for electricity on a regular basis. The Indian power industry has previously launched a number of steps to encourage renewable energy sources including solar, wind, hydro, etc. There are numerous ways to produce electricity as an alternative technique of generating power, and one of these ways, called footstep energy generation, can be a successful way to do it.
clean up the environment. The specific goal of this work is to develop sustainable plastic tiles from plastic trash. As a result of this technology's usage of waste plastic in the production of tiles, the environment is automatically cleaned up.The current investigation focuses on producing floor tiles from 100% HDPE waste plastic. The study also covered the production of electricity. Piezoelectric flooring is excellent for areas with high foot traffic. Therefore, using waste plastic tile and piezoelectric sensors to generate electricity from footstep energy will assist to minimize pollution and energy demand, resulting in the creation of piezoelectric plastic tiles as the end result.

1. INTRODUCTION Numerous research have examined the possibility of capturing the energy of people strolling through crowded public areas. For nations with dense populations, the technique known as piezoelectricity, which applies human waste energy from foot power, is unquestionably crucial. When pressure is applied, floor sensors catch the electrical energy created by the pressure and convert it to an electrical charge that is then stored and used as a power source.

A piezoelectric sensor is a tool that converts pressure, acceleration, and force into an electrical signal via the piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric crystals generate electricity when pressure is applied to the crystal lattice.
The usage of a flooring tile made of piezoelectric material makes it appropriate for locations with high foot traffic. a method for effectively using waste plastic in flooring tiles and the potential for electricity production through the use of piezoelectric materials in flooring tiles.
Problem Statement Plastic waste poses a serious threat to both the environment and human lives. Plastic disposal takes close to 300 years. Additionally, the plastic contains dangerous compounds that, when burned, release deadly fumes. We intend to employ waste plastic from the civil industry as a raw material for the production of tiles in order to lessen this negative impact of plastic on the environment.
