A Review of Plastic Bricks as a Construction Material

Plastic brick is a building material made from a blend of non recyclable waste plastic and other components such as sand, aggregate, cement, water, stone dust, fly ash, etc. . This study aims to investigate research findings on transforming waste plastic into bricks that can replace traditional bricks. Various journal articles were reviewed, titled Conversion of Waste Plastic into Bricks to Replace Conventional Clay Bricks. Several open access journal articles were examined to align with the focus of this study. The results indicate that concrete blocks incorporating plastic bottles exhibit a 57 higher compressive strength, as cited by other researchers n = 79 in Use of Recycled Plastic Water Bottles in Concrete Blocks. The findings suggest that compressive strength and other properties can be significantly enhanced when plastic is used as a coating with sand. However, when used as filler, it yields comparable strength to conventional bricks and can be employed without restrictions or reservations. The primary reflection of this review is to conduct extensive research on a large scale to discover an innovative method to transform waste plastic into environmentally friendly bricks. The implications of this study would be beneficial to students, future researchers, and the Building Department of the Oxford College of Engineering and Management, Gaindakot 2 in Nawalparasi district, and young.
