Abstract - This world is changing day by day. Technologies are also changed with time. Technological advancement leads business process in all new different dimensions. Country like India is growing rapidly. Infrastructure Development is in big bane. Development forms and methods are also changed due to change in technology. In case of a conventional construction of a building or any structure, the main source of raw material is Sand bricks or Stones or wooden sheets as awall. The new concept for making wall has been developed that is Cellular Lightweight Concrete Bricks. It is a light weight, water resistant, fire- proof, sound proof and environment friendly. These can be extensively used in all building constructional activities
similar to that of common burnt clay bricks. The CLC bricks are comparatively lighter in weight and stronger than common clay bricks in view of superior quality and eco-friendly nature, and government support the demand for CLC Bricks has picked up. Due to rapid urbanization, the amount of waste to be processed has increased enormously. The purpose of this article is to identify the potential for using recycled materials such as plastic waste in foams. Concrete as an alternative filler for fine river sand. A protein-based blowing agent is used in this study. The processability and strength of various mixtures made from engineered foams of different densities are investigated using plastic waste. In this foam concrete blocks will be manufactured according to the intended proportions to reach a maximum strength of 1900 kg/m3 . In this mixture of recycled plastic waste will be used as filler in foam
concrete. The 7-14- and 28-day compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, and set density of each batch are examined and compared to the nominal strength obtained for the mixture.
Key Words: Cellular Lightweight Concrete, environment friendly, foams.
