Waste Plastic Textile Sludge Building Composite

Waste plastic is the most neglected waste with less than 10% of it being recycled. Another waste viz. the textile sludge is used in concrete up to 25% by weight of cement or sand. Various researches are being conducted with waste plastic and textile sludge with cement as binder. In this paper it is projected to use the molten waste plastic and used cooking oil as binder and textile sludge as inert material along with natural red soil, fly ash and M- Sand. The composites thus obtained were cast in to cubes of 50sq cm. The cubes were tested for density, water absorption and compressive strength. The results showed the compressive strength near 10N/mm2 and water absorption less than 5% for all composites.
