Abstract: Today, the proper disposal of waste plastics is one of the major environmental issues. The amount of plastic waste is growing daily. The shortage and unavailability of construction supplies is another issue the construction sector is now dealing with. Therefore, we need to look for alternative building materials as well as an effective way to get rid of plastic garbage. One of the two problems mentioned above can be used to solve the other in order to obtain their answer. In order to research the behaviour of plastic mixed concrete, plastic waste was mixed with cement concrete in various quantities ranging from 0% to 10%, and M20 grade test specimens were cast. The study of concrete's compressive and flexural strengths is the subject of the current topic. Manufacturing activities, service sectors, and municipal solid wastes all produce a variety of waste products. Concerns over the disposal of created garbage have been greatly exacerbated by people's growing environmental awareness.One of the world's top environmental challenges is the handling of solid waste. Waste utilisation has emerged as a desirable substitute for disposal due to the lack of landfill space and the rising expense of disposal. On the use of waste materials in concrete, research is being done. Tires, plastic, glass, steel, charred foundry sand, and coal combustion byproducts are a few examples of such waste materials (CCBs). Each of these waste materials had a unique impact on the characteristics of newly-poured and fully-cured concrete. Concrete is made more affordable by using waste materials, and it also helps with disposal issues. Bulky garbage reuse is thought to be the most environmentally friendly solution to the disposal issue. Plastic is one such waste that has a variety of potential uses. But there have also been attempts to investigate its application in concrete/asphalt concrete. The development of new construction materials using recycled plastics is important to both the construction and the plastic recycling industries.
