APPLICATION OF PLASTIC WASTE IN CONCRETE

The rapid industrialization and urbanization in the country lead lot of infrastructure development. This process leads to several problems like shortage of construction materials, increased productivity of wastes and other products. In recent time use of such, Industrial wastes from plastic bottles, pallets, carry bags, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) which are commonly used for packing, carrying vegetables, meat etc. creates a serious environmental problem. Plastic bag lastin environment up to 1000 years because of plastic bag last so long the number of plastic bag accumulated increases each year. Disposal of large quantity of plastic bag may cause pollution of land, water bodies and air. Regarding the consumption the use of plastic is increasing day by day, although steps were taken to reduce its consumption. This creates substantial garbage every day which is much unhealthy. Disposal of plastic waste in an environment is considered to be a big problem due to itslow biodegradability and presence in large quantities. Industrial activities in Iraq are associated with significant amounts of non-biodegradable solid waste, waste plastic being among the most prominent. The study of this reusing waste in the production of concrete involved 86 experiments and 254 tests to determine the efficiency of reusing waste plastic. Amount of waste plastic being accumulated in 21st centuries has created big challenges for their disposal, obliging the authoritiesto invest in felicitating the use of waste plastic as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate in a concrete is fundamental to the booming construction industry,an in this study a reuse of waste plastic is done in various forms. Plastic recycling was taking place on a significant scale in an India, as much as 60 % of both industrial and urban plastic waste is recycled which obtained from various sources. People in India have released plastic wastes on large scale have huge economicvalue, as a result of this, recycling of waste plastics plays a major role in providing employment.
