Currently, construction costs and sand shortages are increasing day by day. To combat this problem, sand in plastic form is partially replaced by other materials. Plastic waste is recycled in the form of new production materials that can be used as optional components of concrete, making it one of the best ways to deal with plastic waste. These techniques have also proven to be much more cost-effective than traditional methods. This paper proposes using plastic waste as random substitutes (10%, 20%, 30%) for natural river sand and testing for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and sustainability. purpose. With the amount of plastic used increasing day by day, the disposal of used plastic is a big problem. It was therefore concluded that sand must be replaced by plastic within 20 years so that the shortage of natural aggregates can be effectively dealt with and the used plastic are disposed effectively.
