Year : 2021

Mentors : Vineet Kothari

The aim of this project is to replace cement with plastic waste in paver block and to reduce the cost of paver block 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. Hence the project is helpful in reducing plastic waste in a useful way. In this project we will use plastic waste in different proportions with quarry dust, coarse aggregate and ceramic waste. The paver blocks will be prepared and tested and the results will be discussed.
