Abstract- This article has analysed and documented the mixture of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) granules that are used to create concrete cubes and beams instead of fine total. Concrete cubes forms based on the mixture of the LDPE and HDPE were physically cast, and the test concrete's quality was provisionally evaluated in terms of compression and tensile pressure. It has been discovered that the quality of plastic-replaced concrete can be on par with regular concrete in terms of compaction and compression. The focus of the project is on concrete blends that have a 10%, 20%, and 30% substitution of plastic waste powder for fine particles, which will help reduce the dead weight of the structure. To determine the quality parameter, this mix inside the form of three-dimensional shapes of cubes$ and beams were exposed to compression and partial pressure. Therefore, the use of plastic powder in the production of concrete is not only advantageous but also facilitates the transfer of plastic waste.
