3. INTRODUCTION
• In this project we use waste plastic materials to make bricks .
• As we know plastic is very dangerous for the environment and soil because it is
non-biodegradable
• The environment protection agency reports plastic made up 12% of the 254
million tons of waste generated in 2007. that’s more than 30 million tons of
plastic in one year .some reports state plastic materials can take hundreds of
years to break down in a landfill.
• This is one of the Best way to reduce the waste plastic from the environment
• So if we make bricks from waste plastic , it is very advantageous for nature and
economy

4. OBJECTIVES
 To determine the compressive strength of brick by adding waste plastic
as a eco friendly and recycled material.
 To compare the cost of ecofriendly bricks by conventional brick.

5. PREPERATION PROCESS
• Collecting the waste plastic
• Burning
• Mixing
• Moulding
• Drying

6. COLLECTION THE WASTE PLASTIC
• Collection of waste plastic bottle from homes and
different places or Buy them from middle-men who
collect waste plastic .
• Sorting and categorizing of waste plastic which is
collected.

8. Burning
• A simple drum(sheet metal ) is used to melt plastic by burning
• safety equipment,
{including eye protection , breathing apparatus, gloves}

10. Mixing
• After melting the plastic ,when plastic is melted properly , we add some fine
sand to the melted plastic
• And mix sand and melted plastic properly.

12. Moulding
• After mixing of the plastic and sand we put it on the wooden mould
• Before putting the mixture into mould , we provide oiling in the
inner surface for easy removal .
• Than level the upper surface for better finishing .
• Than keep it for drying

14. Drying
• The drying of bricks is necessary , to make them strong
enough for rough handling during subsequent stages
• Placed in the sun to dry for 24 hours to 36 hours

16. TESTS
• COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
• WATER ABSORPTION TEST

17. COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
• In this test, the cubical brick specimen is placed in the compression
strength testing machine. After placing it we will apply the load on
the brick without any shock.
• Recording the maximum load applied to the brick specimen and
the appearance and type of failure is also noted along with any
unusual features.

19. WATER ABSORPTION TEST
Absorption test is conducted on brick to find out the amount of moisture content absorbed
by
brick under extreme conditions. In this test sample dry bricks are taken and weighed. After
weighing the brick placed in water with full immersing for a period of 24 hours. Then weigh
the
wet brick and note down its value. The difference between dry and wet brick weights will
give
the amount of water absorption. The plastic soil bricks do not absorb water since the plastic
materials will cover the soil particles and plastic material does not absorb any water so that
the
water absorption of plastic soil bricks is 0%.

21. Hardness
• The hardness test determines the resistance of the bricks to scratch. The brick is
scraped with a sharp tool (steel rod) for this test, and if no impression is left, the
brick is considered hard.
• In this test, nail scratch did not affect bricks of all ratios, implying that the bricks
were tough. This shows the brick possess high quality
• In the impact test of the bricks, the brick is allowed to drop flat from a height of 1
meter on the ground. After dropping the brick on the ground it should not break
your crush into pieces.
• If the brick gets cracked or crushed into pieces then, it indicates the best quality
of the brick.

23. Advantages
• It is economical
• Its is durable
• Raw material is easily available
• It does not absorb water
• It is good in strength
• It is good at thermal insulation

24. PLASTIC BRICK NORMAL BRICK
 waste plastic is used and it is very cheap  Raw materials like clay and sand is used it is costly
than waste plastic
 Raw material is easily available at everywhere  Raw material is not available at everywhere
 It can be manufacture in small palace  Big place is required for manufacture to setup
chimney and for cooling process
 Compressive strength is 141.42 kg  Compressive strength is 105 kg/cm
 Strength is more  Strength is less

25. Conclusion
• The Plastic sand bricks possess more advantages which includeCost efficiency,
Removal of waste products thus abolishing the land requirement problem for
dumping plastic, Reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases by the
conversion of flue gases into synthetic oil etc.,
• This method is suitable for the countries which has the difficult to dispose
/recycle the plastic waste.
• The natural resources consumed for the manufacturing of Plastic sand bricks
are very much less when compared to its counterparts.
• The manufacturing cost could be reduced further by replacing the river sand
with fly ash/quarry dust or other waste products.
• Owing to the numerous advantages further research would improve the quality
and durability of plastic sand bricks and flyash brick.
