Plastic Pavers are created by recycling waste plastics. Plastic garbage, which is growing at an alarming rate, has become an eyesore and, as a result, pollutes the environment, particularly in urban areas. A considerable amount of plastic is carried into the separating regions and then wasted or burned, polluting the environment. as well as air As a result, these waste plastics will be put to good use.The usage of plastic in everyday life is expanding. Every year, India produces 26000 tonnes of plastic, which is extremely detrimental to the environment. Because the breakdown of plastic is quite gradual, we decided to employ it in our project to make paver blocks. We use plastic waste to replace cement in this procedure. The project is really beneficial in reducing plastic trash. In this project, we use a variety of materials in suitable proportions, such as sea sand and quarry dust.
1.PLASTIC WASTE The plastic used in this procedure is gathered from the local region in the form of plastic bottles. Plastic's basic features are listed here. Table – 1: Properties of plastic bottles
1. INTRODUCTION Plastic is manufactured via poly condensation from natural elements such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, and crude oil. Plastic is a flexible organic substance made up of synthetic and semi-synthetic organic compounds that can be easily moulded into solid objects. Plastic is employed in a wide range of items, including paper crafts and space crafts. Because plastic is sturdy and long-lasting, it provides superior strength. Then there's the lighter weight, weather resilience, and chemical resistance. Plastic may be easily moulded into any shape. Long chains of atoms are linked together in plastic polymers. Plastic is usually an organic polymer with a high molecular mass, although it can also contain other materials. Plastic can be used as a good binding material due to the above features. 1.1

Crushed sand with a particle size of less than 4.75 mm is extracted from rock using state-of-the-art crushing equipment. The following are the characteristics of quarry dust: Table- 2: Properties of Quarry Dust
Block paving, often known as brick paving, is a popular decorative method of laying down a pavement or hard surface. Individual bricks may be pulled up and replaced afterwards, which is a major advantage of brick over other materials. Once the paving bricks have been changed, this allows for corrective work to be done beneath the surface of the paving without leaving a permanent mark. Driveways, pavement, patios, town centres, precincts, and, more often, road surfing are examples of common uses.
