High cost is primary requirement for constructing the house in places where people are poverty lines, is becoming one of the most significant problem of peoples. Eco friendly architectural principles are being incorporated into more building every day in the world but they are still out of reach of many people due to lack of knowledge and awareness. On eco-friendly environment that could still be built at very low cost, with waste materials that is plastic bottle, providing adequate thermal comfort while being sustainable. This paper consist of use of plastic bottle waste in construction as a brick which is filled with compacted sand or mud and other material , method and technique of use , its relative advantages over traditional bricks in this way plastic waste of bottle can be removed and reused safely for construction.
KEYWORDS
1) The use of Plastic Waste for construction application will solve both the solid waste management problem and depleting deposits of raw materials used for construction purposes and also the use of Plastic Waste in different construction applications support the sustainability trend of circular economy. 2) The use of Plastic Waste for construction applications creates a pathway to use these wastes for long term applications compared to short term ones such as recycling into new products which will end up as waste within a short period of time. 3) The possible use of Plastic Waste as binder, aggregates and fibers makes it a viable replacement for all components in cementitious composites, with somewhat acceptable detrimental effects on the performance of the resulting composite. 4) The use of Plastic Waste for various construction application will lead to various revenue generation Opportunities. 5) The cost comparison for brickwork shows for same area Plastic Bottle masonry cost is very much less and economical as compared to Conventional masonry.
