INTRODUCTION
 India is developing country, Because of this civilization is done. Due to this many types
of pollutants are produce like CO2, CO, plastic waste. Now also population is increase
and for daily uses large amount of plastic products like plastics bags, Water bottles, pipe
line etc. In India there is about 15342 tonnes plastic waste produce every day, scientist
says that it take 300 year for complete combustion so it is very dangerous for
environment & human life.
 So we produced technic from waste is used in building material. By using this plastics
waste we produce material which can be used as building material & other places like
parking footpath etc. While making this material we used plastic waste which crushed
and convert into small particle or plastic granules, sand, epoxy resin, MEKP. By mixing
we produce a material which is used in making tile, blocks etc. It replace concrete from
it.
 By making this material we can keep environment healthy and free from plastic waste.

The result of this study recommends that the
fly ash based roof tiles provides a sustainable
supplement to the traditional clay roof tiles,
they increase the efficiency of traditional roof
tiles and significantly help to reduce the
environmental issues associated with the
disposal of these waste materials

PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Due to fast developing infrastructure in country usage of plastic has been
increased.
 Due to disposal of plastic in open atmosphere the human life has came into
danger.
 Plastic consists unwanted substance and chemical, if we burn plastic then it
produce poisonous gases, bad smell and hazardous.
 The available amount of plastic waste are abundant according to “central
pollution control board of India” produce 15343 tones of plastic every year.
 To keep environment clean and healthy, the plastic waste should be reduce as
early as possible.
 So in our project we mainly concentrated on using of waste plastic as a raw
material for production of tiles.

OBJECTIVES
 Minimize the plastic disposal problems.
 Availability of better alternative to cement tile.
 To use wastage of plastic material in manufacturing of plastic tiles.
 Increase strength of tile.
 Increase aesthetic view of tile.
 Reduced cost of tiles.
 Reduced land pollution.

METHODOLOGY
1. Use of plastic wastes as a binding material in the manufacture of
tiles
 Author:athos polidori(1998) :
 According to athos the plastic waste tiles have low porosity hence it makes tiles
impervious in opposition to micro-concrete tiles.
 The proportion of 40% of plastic binder gives best result hence it is used.

2. Material used
 Waste Crushed Solid Plastic Material
 M E K P (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide )
 Epoxy Resin
 Sand

3. PROPORTIONS
We used trail and error method for deciding proportions
 First Proportion: - 1:1:4:2 ( Epoxy Resin: MEKP: Plastic Granules: Sand )
 Second Proportion: - 1:1:3:3 ( Epoxy Resin: MEKP: Plastic Granules: Sand )
 Third Proportion: - 1:1:2:4 ( Epoxy Resin: MEKP: Plastic Granules: Sand )

4. Process of tiles
 Prepare the mould.
 Crushing waste plastic material.
 Binding material.
 Mixing of binding material in waste plastic & rock sand.
 Use of thermosetting method.

5. PREPARATION OF MOULD
Size of mould :-300 x 300 x 15 mm
After selecting the mould material, we went to industry for the prepearation of
mould in actual. fabrication consists of following process:-
 Cutting a sheet
 Drilling a sheet
 Welding a frame
 Polishing frame and sheet
 Fixing frame and sheet
 Finishing both

TEST OF TILE
As per IS 1237:2012
We take two test on tile
1. Flexural Test: - Determine transverse strength of casting material for flooring
tiles.
2. Abrasion Test: - Determine the abrasion resistance of plastic tile.

Flexure strength: >3 N/mm2 2.245 N/ mm2 95 N / mm2
Abrasion:
a. For general
purpose
<3.5 mm 1.326 mm 0.87 mm
b. For Heavy duty <2 mm 1.326 mm 0.87 mm

Advantages : -
 It doesn’t produce any type of pollutant.
 For making this tile we doesn’t required water for casting and curing.
 It doesn’t required more time to cast.
 It casting is done in 1 day only.
 It doesn’t produce any type of heat
Disadvantages : -
 Uneconomical as compare to ordinary tile.
 It doesn't resist high temperature more then 108-110 Degree/ Cel.

Properties :-
 High strength
 Tough and hard
 Permeable
 Light weight
 Deflection
 Elasticity
Application : -
 It can used were high loaded work is done.
 It can used as pavement.
 It can used in parking.
 It can used were high loaded machine are place.
 It can used were high loaded machine are repair.
 It look very attractive. So we used this tile for decoration.

CONCLUSION
The plastic tiles are more durable than the traditional tiles with respect to various
perspectives as written in results. Looking towards the flexural capacity of the
tiles, those can be used under heavy loads. The areas of heavy loads can be
garages, workshops, parking, etc. The less wear and tear will be seen in these
plastic tiles. Only thing, the cost of the tiles is slightly more than the traditional
tiles but this can be overseen with the other properties.
As above project studied that the plastic is harmful for environment and very
much amount plastic waste discard in surrounding in daily routing.
So, we try to minimize as well as utilization of this plastic waste in civil
construction field by production of plastic tiles with waste plastic material.
We trying to best to do efficient tiles from this materials but presently this tough
task to us because of uneconomical production of this tiles.
But it is possible to use another chemical for binding material such as polyester or
other which may be economical in future.

FUTURE SCOPE
 After completion of above project is noted that this plastic tiles presenting un
economical but in future research on that issue will be possibility make that this tiles
economical.
 We will change the percentage of plastic waste also there are possibility to change the
binding material like resin-melamine resin polyester etc this are the chemical which
will be economical.
 If we use fire proof reagent, modern method, colour reagent for making this tiles then it
will more glossiness and efficient.
 If we increase our production in large aspects then chemical will be present it in large
quantity also at low cost.
