About 1.3 billion tons of waste is being generated in the world annually. This waste is a cause of various diseases. Open dumping of waste also destroys valuable agricultural land. Various researchers have beneficially used plastic waste in cement concret

PET bottles are being experimented to act as non load bearing Keywords— Waste PET aggregate, light weight concrete, structural properties, Bottle house , PET panels I. INTRODUCTION HE problem of recycling waste materials will remain one of the problems wh

traditional concrete in case of replacing 45% of natural aggregate by PET aggregate. No significant changes are observed for mixtures containing up to 15% of PET-aggregates in compressive strength results, for 30% and 45% PET replacement there is a noticea

cooled and crushed to obtained plastic sand having finesse modulus of 4.7. Fine aggregate in the mix proportion of concrete was replaced with plastic bag waste sand at 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% whereas other concrete materials remain same for all four mixes.

Recycling of plastic waste as valued added product such as concrete appears as one of promising solution for alternative use of plastic waste. This paper summarized recent progress on the development of concrete mixture which incorporates plastic wastes a

Mariaenrica Frigione (2010) had conducted an investigation on using recycled PET bottles as fine aggregate in concrete and concluded the workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength is slightly lower than referenceconcrete and moderately high

studies have been conducted on the use of scraptire/rubber in mortar and concrete, and a research work has been published by Siddique a review paper (2008) on the use of recycled plastic in concrete (Siddique, Khatib & Kaur 2008). In the other study, Choi

PET 1.38 0.15 130% 1.00-7.00 Recycling of waste PET The post-consumer waste PET bottles were collected and shredded. Shredded materials were sieved and particles sizes of PET ranges of 1-7 mm, and particle as aggregate for the preparation of used as aggre

The usage of waste plastic bags (WPB) in concrete not only solve dumping crisis of WPB but also yields cost-effective concrete, which is worthy to both plastic recycling and construction industry. In this study, the influence of shredded WPB as fine aggre
