Environment friendly bricks are not only used as pavement it can also be used as
walls in houses thus reducing the plastics in the environment (Naresh et.al., 2017).
Plastic is a material that can be formed in different shapes. Plastic bricks are commonly
used as pavements but it can also be used as bricks that can serve as wall of a house or
a building. Plastics when melted can become liquid state and can flow and follow a specific
shape or form. When using plastic as material for building blocks or bricks, you can make
Arulrajah et.al. 2010, one of the global concern is pollution, recycling and reducing
plastic is a way of reducing such problem. Because of the large amount of plastic in the
world, recycling plastics by making plastic bricks have been of great help in reducing the
amount of plastic present on the environment. Creating another product from plastic
waste can reduce the pollution in the environment and can also be a source of income or
money. Recycling and reusing plastics waste is a way of reducing it. Plastic waste is a
major concern in the world and this is the method that people found effective in making
Plastic wastes is the most common waste seen in the environment, it contribute a
big percent in the total solid wastes (Singhal et.al., 2018). Plastic waste can be seen
everywhere because it is non-biodegradable, it cannot mix with the soil and stay hidden
over a period of time. It will not change its composition. Unlike biodegradable materials
like fruit peels, plastics cannot decompose on land, a plastic waste that was made
centuries ago can still be present up until today. Plastic waste will not be gone for good
terms of disposing it, unlike biodegradable waste, these can be seen and live on for a
long time. Because of the non-biodegradable waste, disposing waste is not an easy task.
A ways of disposing plastic will be through recycling, when one throw plastic waste
anywhere it will not be gone for good but will return when time comes, it is a large
contributing factor in the pollutions in the world, it also contributes in global warming.
Plastic waste is a major problem faced from the past till the present because of its inability
The manufactured plastic bricks can also help get rid of too much plastics in the
surrounding and is also cost-efficient and more fuel efficient to make than the
conventional bricks (Jefferson et. al., 2009). The rising number of discarded plastics in
the world can be lessen with the manufacture of plastic bricks. Plastic bricks will also be
less expensive than the conventional bricks given that the materials can be found in the
environment as wastes. Plastics will not be scattered in the environment for consumers
will create products from plastic wastes like pavement bricks. Creating plastic bricks will
not only be of help in getting rid of the plastic wastes in the environment and achieving
a plastic-free surrounding but will also help the consumers and manufacturers in creating
Blocks of concrete have been used in pavements in Europe for more than 50 years.
This is why recently concrete block pavements have become an attractive engineering
and economical alternative to both flexible and rigid pavements. The power, durability
and aesthetically pleasing surfaces have made paving blocks desirable for many retail,
municipal and industrial applications such as parking areas, pedestrian paths, and traffic
inter-sections, container yards and roads. Water-retaining concrete block pavements, are
also used in areas frequented by many people including sideways, parks, and squares,
and they are projected to grow in the future (Wahid et. al., 2017)
management, but it can also perceive as one present. High levels of recycling, such as
reuse and repair or re-manufacture, can allow for a given level of product service with
lower inputs of material than would otherwise be required. Implementing the concept of
industrial ecology, whereas in a natural ecosystem there are no wastes but only products.
Plastics recycling is one way to reduce the impact on the environment and the depletion
of resources.
The rapid increase in the use of plastics and plastic wastes in the world is caused
by economic growth and consumption patterns of the consumers (Kadir et,al. 2011).
Proper disposal of plastic wastes is a problem faced by the society today. The
consumption of the consumers is a factor in the increasing use of plastics in the world.
Infrastructures are build that may help in boosting the economy of a country. These may
plastic wastes. They obtain goods from the market packed in plastic--which is a
convenient material in carrying the goods. Consuming more can lead to more plastics
obtained thus contributing to plastic wastes in the environment. Everyone can contribute
to plastic wastes. Practicing proper wastes disposal and following the 4 R’s can be of
The global warming is not as it mere due to climate alter but able to the clashing

by weight of sludge added to shale were used as waste materials in hand -molded brick
making. The specifications of the produced pavement based plastic wastes presented the
state of the art of manufacturing bricks in current trend in the bricks industry with respect
