Abstract - Population growth and economic development are contributing to a rise in plastic trash. Because plastics cannot biodegrade, disposing of waste plastic has become a significant issue on a worldwide scale. Annually approximate 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. Plastic in our seas kills over a million sea birds and 100,000 marine animals every year. To overcome these defects we can use the plastic in construction sector as a raw material in different ways.

Plastic trash is a non-biodegradable waste that cannot disintegrate, which results in contamination of the air, water, and land. Additionally, when we burn plastic garbage at the dump, its proportion is rising quickly, which is a sign of the environment's destruction and the depletion of resources owing to the excessive use of clay. In order to innovate in this area as civil engineers, we are attempting to create plastic dust bricks in this case.

Key Words - Utilize plastic waste, manufacturing fly ash brick
