Topic name =use of plastic and scrap in construction

• brief description of topic

• The project elucidates about the use of plastic in civil
construction. The components used include everything
from plastic screws and hangers to bigger plastic parts
that are used in decoration, electric wiring, flooring,
wall covering and waterproofing. Plastic use in road
construction that have shown same hope in terms of
using plastic waste in road construction. i.e. plastic
roads.
 Reason for selecting particular topic
Use of plastic and scrap in construction helps to
reduce pollution and improve the use of waste in a
proper way
History
• Using only plastic waste or adding some other ingredients such as
powder, fly ash, etc plastic is converted into useful construction
materials such as pavers, railway sleepers, building blocks, etc. A
number of trials with different combinations were conducted to
efficiently convert waste plastic into bricks.

• Importance of plastic in scrap of constuction
• Plastic is a general name given to a wide range of
synthetic materials that are based on polymers. The 
construction industry uses plastic for a wide range of
applications because of its versatility, strength-to-
weight ratio, durability, corrosion resistance, and so on.
• Plastic can be manufactured into forms such as; pipes, 
cables, coverings, panels, films, sheets and so on; and
can be formed or expanded to create low-density 
materials; and be dissolved in solvents or dispersed as 
emulsions.
objectives
• renewable resources and enabling carbon neutral energy production
from waste.
• More specifically, the project aims at:
• Identifying the main challenges and barriers for reducing plastic waste
in mixed waste and residual waste streams, hereby stimulating
prevention and recycling of plastic waste
• Promoting recycling of plastic polymers as a substitute for virgin plastic
• Diverting waste plastic from the residual waste going to incineration
(creating a carbon neutral energy source) and landfill
• CONCLUSION Quantified usability criteria are imperative for utilizing various
wastes and recycled materials at a large scale. The criteria development for the
utilization of the waste and recycled material is critical for the intended uses in
construction. To properly utilize the waste and recycled material in construction
and ensure that the waste material utilization is technically sound and durable,
the following steps have to be followed: (1) select the right criteria for a specific
use, (2) conduct relevant laboratory testing to quantify the given sample, (3)
determine the suitability based on relevant criteria, (4) conduct field quality
control, and (5) monitor long-term performance which are the same as the use
of the conventional material. In this paper, it has only been possible to outline
the guiding methodology for waste and recycled material utilization and provide
a fairly detailed quantification work example of steel slags. However, the authors
believe that this methodology can be easily adapted to the utilization of other
waste and recycled materials such as fly ashes, rubber tires, and waste glass. As a
result, the requirements for a full quantification of the waste and recycled
material and thorough evaluation criteria for the intended uses can be clearly
indicated along with the sustainable development objective of taking advantage
observation
• Plastic is one of the daily increasing useful as well as a hazardous material.
At the time of need, plastic is found to be very useful but after its use, it is
simply thrown away, creating all kinds of hazards. Plastic is non-
biodegradable that remains as a hazardous material for more than
centuries. The quantity of plastic waste in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is
expanding rapidly. They are non-biodegradable and also researchers have
found that the plastic materials can remain on earth for 4500 years without
degradation In India approximately 40 million tons of the municipal solid
waste is generated annually, with evaluated increasing at a rate of 1.5 to 2%
every year. Hence, these waste plastics are to be effectively utilized
• According to the report of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), it is
seen that the packaging and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe industry grows
at 16-18% per year. Table 1 provides the total plastics waste consumption
in India during last decade.
• Plastics can also be classified according to their chemical sources. According
to sources of plastic, there are six general groups: Cellulose Plastics, Synthetic
Resin Plastics, Protein Plastics, Natural Resins, Elastomers and Fibers. Table 2
gives the source of waste plastic generation. Only plastic conforming to Low
Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), PET and
Polyurethane shall only be used in pavement construction.
