Abstract

This paper aims to study the possibility of using recycled hospital plastic waste as a replacement of coarse aggregates in the manufacturing of paver blocks. Use of concrete paver block in road pavements is more common, which is a better option when compared to bitumen and gravel. The use of waste plastic in concrete pavement block is one of the solution to the environment and ecological issues associated with the use of plastics and the disposal of plastic waste from the hospital industry. This project aims to reduce the unit weight, cost of the block, and also to reduce the environmental pollution arising due to the disposal of hospital plastic. Here, various percentages of plastics were replaced for coarse aggregates in concrete, and the properties were found.
