In last century, the use, production and demand for plastic has increased dramatically due to urbanization and population growth. Plastic waste is one of the major contributors to the municipal solid waste. Being non-degradable the plastic waste is a serious problem for environmental issues. Recycling of the plastic is one of the best solution to reduce the plastic pollution. Most of the plastics can be readily recycled. According to National Geographic Survey, a whooping 91% of plastic has never even been recycled till date.
Literature survey reflects that research studies on recycling of plastic waste to tiles is very less. Despite of the fact that tiles made from plastic will have less weight and more flexural strength compared to cement tiles. In our R & D work, we made an attempt to convert used milk pouches to tiles. In this paper, an attempt has been made to discuss the manufacturing of tiles by recycling of used milk pouches. The tiles manufactured from this method were compared with other tiles for their properties and cost.
