Abstract: Plastic waste is serious threat to the environment and their disposal is a major problem in solid waste management. Different plastic products like plastic polyethylene bags, High density polyethylene, Low density polyethylene and Polyethylene terephthalate bottles are widely used and cause major impact to the environment. To overcome this issue many efforts were taken to recycle and reuse of plastics waste. On the other hand concrete is the most widely used construction material is facing problem due to unavailability of construction material of cement, sand and coarse aggregate. Various experimental investigations were made to check the effective use of plastic waste partially in concrete with respect to various properties of strength, workability, durability and ductility of concrete. This paper discusses about the various literature reviews in which the waste plastic material incorporated with the concrete and impingement on the various properties of concrete when partially replacing with waste plastic.
Keywords: Plastic waste, Recycle, Impingement, Reuse, Polyethylene terephthalate.
