Abstract
Abstract Solid waste disposal is a significant issue in our everyday lives as a result of the rapid population expansion in nations like India. One of the biggest environmental issues is the handling of solid waste. Plastic garbage is the waste kind that causes the majority of adverse environmental effects. Plastic must be recycled or reused because it cannot biodegrade. The study's goal is to examine the behaviour of concrete formed from recycled plastic materials as well as some of its physical characteristics. This study takes into account M20 cement concrete, which includes recovered plastic waste as a partial replacement for fine aggregate. Plastic was used to replace 5%, 10%, and 15% of the concrete in the casting of a concrete cube.
