Recycling of Plastic Waste and Reusing as an Additive to Cement Composite.

 Abhishek Shitole of Semester 8, B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, has developed a Composite material with recycled plastic and cement to form a material with good compressive strength, tensile strength, and less wear. Brick is made for easy utilization in the construction field and can be used in building long lasting roads. Plastic-Cement composite material with variations in the quantity of fillers are developed and characterized them for various Mechanical, Physical and Thermal properties. Figure shows the brick developed out of the composite material.
