Utilization of Plastic Waste Production of Hollow Blocks and Bricks

The objective of this IP is to prove that fictiles can be recycled into reusable drudge bends/bricks and help the environment by lessening formative wasteland. In this experiment, credit cards were cut into small pieces to use them in bricks/hollow blocks.The objective of this project is to help maintain water contamination that causes flood, by collecting and using charge plate wrappers in making hollow blocks and bricks. pliable materials are commonly used in or daily lives. Plastic bags, wrappers, and other related products were introduced to interfere paper products. But now different problem arise because of the use of these materials. Land and water pollution are most common. Those plastic materials are improperly dumbed cause flood because plastic waste takes old age to decompose. So nonpareil way to lessen those problems is to utilize those plastic waste products, instead of dumping them, and induct them reusable. In this experiment we will demonstrate how plast ic waste can be used in making hollow blocks and bricks.The product can only be used as decorative block and is not intended for building houses and the likes. Every day, we throw away large quantities of polymer in the form of plastic bottles, cartons, and yogurt pots. Experts estimate that 25 percent of polymer waste is unsuitable for recycling for three main reasons it is economically unprofitable and it is too dirty. Now, researchers from the Latvian scientific Center and the Institute of Polymer Mechanics at the University of Latvia have take place up with a solution. Working with Hormigones Uniland, a Spanish cement company, the researchers have succeeded in turning thermoplastic polymer waste into a binding substance that could be mixed with other materials, like sand, to generate cement-free polymer cover goods.The polymer concrete bricks look like ordinary bricks made from cement, says Dr. Juris Balodis, project manager at the Latvian Technological Centre. However, he p oints out that the polymer concrete absorbs less water so it is very good for resisting temperature variations like freezing. some(prenominal) the European market and consumers are expected to benefit from this material, which can work well in a wide range of products,including street furniture and street curbs. Dr. Balodis and his team are now researching how to accelerate the output signal of bricks. The current rate is three bricks per minute, but the team wants to increase production to between 30 and 60 bricks per minute.METHODOLOGYMaterials Plastic waste wrappers Cement Red cement Wafer PVC pipes Molder Basin Measuring shape StrainerPROCEDUREThe waste plastic materials were collected and cut into tiny pieces. A basin was prepared for the cement and plastic wrappers. Thirteen cups cement and 13 cups of plastic wrappers were poured into the basin and mixed well. A molder was prepared for the hollow blocks. Eleven cups of plastic wrappers and 11 cups of cement were mixed thoro ughly. The mixture was then poured into the molder and allowed to dry for dickens days to ensure that it is firm before it is removed from the molder. For the bricks, two cups of cement, one cup of plastic wrappers, and one cup of red cement were mixed thoroughly. The mixture was then poured into the molder and allowed to dry for at least two days.Results and DiscussionThe following are the observations made on the resulting products Ordinary poke BlocksLong Somewhat toffy Thick Grayish White Ordinary Bricks Hard Thick Wide Easily Breaks Brown Hollow Blocks with Plastic Smaller in Size More Durable Thicker Dirty White Bricks with Plastic Harder capillary Wider Durable Light RedConclusionWe therefore conclude that plastic waste can be used in the production of hollow blocks and bricks.Suggestion and RecommendationsThe Researchers recommend collecting plastic wrappers as well as other plastic waste and use or turn them into alternative products to and help the environment. This pro ject can prove reclaimable in homes. Those plastic wastes can be reused in a more profitable way. Lesser waste means lesser pollution in the environment.
