Abstract : Plastic is a material that does not degrade in the environment. Step by step, the volume of plastic garbage in municipal solid waste is growing rapidly. Hydrocarbons, which can be obtained from a variety of sources including coal, oil, and certain minerals, are used to make plastic. Plastic is considered useful during a time of scarcity,however after it is used, it is practically thrown away, posing a variety of risks There are many different types of plastic, such as Low Thickness Poly-ethylene (the material) and High Thickness Poly- ethylene (HDPE). These leftover polymers are then to be effectively utilized in the production of paver squares. In order to produce high-quality blocks with warm and sound protection qualities to cope with contamination and to lower the overall cost of construction, low thickness polyethylene is spotlessly mixed in with the sand and aggregate at varying rates. development, this is likely the best way to prevent the accumulation of plastic garbage, a non- biodegradable poison. The goal of this initiative is to use plastic waste as a binder instead of cement, which will decrease the decrease the need for cement and lower the price of paver blocks. The country produces over 5.6 million tone of plastic garbage annually. Plastic disintegration is a very drawn-out process that takes several years. Thus, it makes sense to employ plastic trash in paver blocks. We have mixed fine and coarse gravel with plastic trash in different proportions for this technique. After being assembled, the paver squares were tested. The square plastic paver's maximum capacity to retain water is When compared to paver square, the results showed greater quality.
