Abstract
Thermoplastics are a set of materials that are in production with short-sightedness. Plastic is inert and durable; improper disposal after use accumulates and produces waste for water, land, and air. Many formulations are under speculation in the literature that entangles the reuse of plastic for sustainable development. The production of plastic is more than 400 million tons of plastic yearly. These stats require efficient recycling of plastic techniques for usage on a large scale. The overall aim of the research program is to recycle waste plastic and to produce products for the construction industry. The construction industry already has an appetite for large-scale material consumption. Conversely, the sector requires that the materials match the strengths and toughness standards. Previous studies indicate the possible use of waste plastic in pavement, concrete, and other products. The only problem is that the utilization index is minor. This study presents a work in process with an efficient technique for recycling waste plastic for construction products. Studies are required to assess further the viability of recycled waste plastic for construction products, which shall target low-cost and lightweight housing.
