Abstract

Plastic products have become an integral part of our daily life as a basic need. It is produced on a massive scale worldwide and its production crosses 150 million tons per year globally. In India, approximately 9 million tons of plastic products are consuming every year (2010) which is expected to rise to 12 million tons by 2012 and estimates say it would double this value in 2025. Its broad range application is mainly in packing films, wrapping materials, fluid containers, clothing, household, and industrial products and building materials. This project deals with an effective method of dumping plastic waste that has accumulated. Using plastics in building mortar and plasters can be employed in an effective manner that is completely environment friendly.
