Paper Details

Plastic is one of the daily increasing useful as well as a hazardous material. At the time of need plastic isfound to be very useful, but after its use, its simply thrown away, creating all kinds of hazards. Plastic is not biodegradable, so it will continue to be hazardous for more than centuries. The idea of this paper is to recycle this plasticscrap into usable product so that it helps nature.so we used PVC crush from waste PVC pipe in this study. The thought ofthis study was to mix of PVC crush with fly ash and cement to create a new type of brick, which we named PFC Bricks.Since it is not economical to approach a local brick manufacturer for lending the machine, we design and manuallymanufacture the brick. The PVC used in our brick was leftover pieces of pipes. So, as a trial the PVC was crushed intosmall pieces of 3 mm size. The mixture consists of cement, fly ash, and PVC crush of small size with added water insuitable proportions and after thorough mixing, the paste was poured into a rectangular mold having standard brickdimensions. The paste took only 24 hours to settle and harden. After the brick was extracted from the mold and Kept inoven for 72 hours to oven dry. At last we tested its properties and compare it with the properties of conventional clayburnt bricks.
