The aim of this project is to replace cement with waste materials such as plastic waste, coconut shells , thermocol in paver block and to reduce the cost of paver block and is light weight when compared to that of convention concrete paver blocks. At present nearly 56 lakhs tones of plastic waste is produced in India per year. The degradation rate of plastic waste is also a very slow process. Plastic waste which is increasing day by day becomes eyesore and in turn pollutes the environment, especially in such a populated and A-1 classified cities such as Indore where tons of plastic is produced on a daily basis. Hence the waste plastic has to be effectively utilized. Hence the project is helpful in reducing plastic waste in a useful way. In this project we have used plastic waste, thermocol balls , coconut cover that is available in abundance and sand.

Keywords- Plastic waste, Thermocol, Coconnut shells, high density polyethylene, polyethylene, paver block, melted Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE).
