3. INTRODUCTION
 Plastic is a very useful substance in our daily life work, but after the use of plastic
it is very difficult for us to dispose of it because it is a non- biodegradable
substance. After its usage it is a hazardous material.
 Plastic is a new engineering material in which researchers take more interest to
invest their time and money because it has a wide scope to enhance the usage of
plastic in different work.
 The properties of plastic are very unique and it can mix with every kind of
material. Plastic is a composition of synthetic and semi synthetic organic
compounds.
 In construction field, many types of tiles are used like - clay tiles etc. In this
project we try to us plastic based tiles which have better characteristics than any
other type of tiles.
 Plastic fly-ash tiles are cheaper than normal tiles. People can easily afford these
types of tiles.
 The largest component of the plastic waste is polyethylene, followed by
polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene.

4. Scope Of Work
 Material Sourcing & Preparation

Selection And Collection Of Material
Manual Sorting
Melting Of Plastic Materials
Mixing Of Materials
Placing of resin (plastic + fly ash) into mould
Demoulding

14. Methodology
Selection Of Material
 PLASTIC WASTE
Plastic waste is generated from waste elements of plastic bottles, containers, caps etc
 FLY-ASH
Fly ash, a solid waste from thermal power plants has been a major source of
environmental pollution. About 95 million tones of fly ash is being produced by the
various power plants in the country.

15. Procedure
 Plastic collection: The plastic wastes for recycling were collected around the
area.
 Manual sorting: each plastic waste type were separated from each other and
unwanted materials were removed from the waste, like in waste plastic bottles,
the plastics normally attached on the skin of bottles and the bottle caps were
removed. Chipping: the various plastic waste sorted were then chopped into
smaller pieces. Washing: The chips were then washed to remove glue, paper
labels, dirt and any remnants of the product they once contained

16.  Melting of Plastic Material: The selected waste plastic from different elements is
weighed crushed and then melted in a container at its melting point (150-170°C).
 Mixing of Materials: After the waste plastic is melted, the fly ash is added to it in
the same container during melting and the mixture is stirred continuously the fly
ash shall be added little by little in quantity and stirred when show that a
homogeneous mixed is obtain. Care shall be taken show that the mixture does not
catch fire.

17.  Placing of resin (plastic + fly ash) into mould: Once the homogenous mixture
of waste plastic in melted form and fly ash is formed, the mixture is fed into a
mould of 30cm * 30cm * 2.5cm. The moulds are coated with oil for easy
demoulding, before placing the mixture. The moulds are prepared by MS base
plate.

18.  Demoulding: Once the mould is completely prepared, the mould is cooled either
by air cooling or by placing it in water. After the mould is cooled, the tile is
removed from the mould. The floor tile is now ready with a good surface finish at
the top.

19. Tests On Tiles
 Water Absorption Test
 Compressive Strength Test
 Flexural Strength Test
 Density Test
 Thermal Conductivity Test
 Fire Resistance Test
 Dimensional Stability Test
