The increasing environmental concerns regarding waste management have driven the exploration of sustainable alternatives in the construction industry. This project investigates the development of eco-friendly bricks by incorporating various waste materials, including plastic, glass, sand, and soil, into the manufacturing process. The primary objective is to create a durable and sustainable building material that reduces the environmental impact associated with conventional brick production. The proposed brick composition consists of 25% plastic waste (Low-Density Polyethylene, High-Density Polyethylene, and Polyethylene Terephthalate), 35% sand, 25% cement, 10% crushed glass, and 5% soil. By integrating these waste materials, the study aims to address the challenges of plastic waste management and resource scarcity while providing a viable alternative to traditional bricks. Key properties such as compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and water absorption are evaluated to assess the performance of the waste material bricks. The anticipated outcome is a brick that not only meets the necessary construction standards but also contributes to environmental sustainability by repurposing waste products. This research holds the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by promoting the use of waste-derived materials, thereby reducing landfill waste, conserving natural resources, and decreasing the carbon footprint of building practices. The development of waste material bricks represents a significant step towards a circular economy and sustainable construction practices.
