Electronic waste, also known as electronic and electrical equipment waste, poses significant pollution issues for people and the environment. It's essential to think about new, efficient waste management methods, particularly those that emphasise recycling. Glass fibre and polypropylene fibre have the benefit of being lightweight, lowering the overall cost of building and promoting construction efficiency. The effectiveness of hybrid fibre-reinforced concrete using E plastic waste as coarse aggregate was investigated in the current study. The concept behind the research study is to replace 0% to 30% of the concrete's coarse aggregates with E-waste and 1% glass and 1% polypropylene fibres (each by weight of concrete). The results demonstrated that E-plastic aggregate may be successfully used in fibre-reinforced concrete, up to 20% of the weight of the coarse aggregate with hybrid fibre, leading to resource and waste depletion.
