3. Problem statement
“ Accumulation of plastic materials
that is not biodegradable stays in
the system for long time and results
hazardous for human eco-system.”
4.
5. Goal
“Installation of plant with capacity of making 1000 bricks per shift of 8 hours by using waste
materials.’’
6. Objective
To raise Ecological awareness
To develop a scientific way of reusing waste plastic
To reduce the cost of construction material by using cost effective bricks
7. Manufacturing of plastic brick
• For uniformity and strength
4. Mixing
• 120-150 degree temperature.
3. Burning
• . Measurement of materials
2. BATCHING
• Collected from waste
1. Collection of plastic
material
5. Molding
• Dry for a period of 28 days
6. Curing
• Normal brick size (19*9*9 cm )
12. Success criteria
The cost of construction will reduce
Plastic brick installation plants will be successfully completed
Can aid in a sustainable future which might be the savior in reducing non-
recyclable plastic waste
13. Obstacles
Efforts for workers to deal with toxic and hazardous materials.
Trained workers that can be able to sort plastic materials.
14. RISKS
Release of harmful gases
Overshadow the benefits achieved through impregnating of such plastics in the sand bricks
Most plastic packaging may not be successfully recycled due to toxic level
plastics are fueling the world’s incinerators and contribute to the release of dioxins and other toxins,Ecobricks are a sustainable way to reuse non-biodegradable plastic waste as plastic waste is regarded as a long-lasting and durable material. Hence, keeping plastic out of the ecosystem and prevents the contamination of the environment.
The main reection of this review is to conduct primary research on a large scale to nd an innovative model to transform waste plastic into environmentally friendly bricks.
To raise Ecological Consciousness through the spread of plastic bricking and the transformation of global plastic into local solutions.
To develop a scientific way of reusing waste plastic (PET bottles) along with utilization of laterite quarry waste that could result in alternative building material.
Collection of Plastic Materials: collected from the factories waste, hospital waste, industries waste,food packages and plastic bottles this will come under the LDPE plastic type.
2. Batching :Measurement of materials is known as batching The waste bottles are rinsed with water and then dried after which the weights of bottles are measured. Sieving of sand is done by 600-micron sieve. and this sand will be used for making bricks. Various proportions of plastic bottles with sand is taken for bricks. The different ratios we used are 1:2,1:3
3. Burning of waste plastic: plastic waste is burned in a closed vessel to prevent the toxic gases released into atmosphere.Temperature is about 120-150 degrees centigrade.
4. Mixing: for the production of uniformity and strength in brick. the river sand is added to it. The sand added is mixed time. Hence mixing process should not consume more time
5. Moulding After completion of proper mixing we place mix into required mould. The test specimens after moulding were allowed to dry for a period of 24 hours. The specimens were kept in curing tank and allowed to cure for a period of 28 days.
6. Curing The test specimens after moulding were allowed to dry for a period of 24 hours. The specimens were kept in curing tank and allowed to cure for a period of 28 days.
