Hazardous Waste Management Through Plastic Brick

Abstract

"Abstract: Waste which is toxic in nature, chemically active, or some of its characteristics causes potential hazard to human or environment and which cannot be stored, transported, treated or disposed without special precautions is known as hazardous waste. The latest report suggests that, in 2017-18 alone India has consumed 16.5 million tons of plastic which is worse according to industrial bodies. The main reason behind the slow degradation of plastic is its chemical structure which helps it to resist natural process of degradation and cause of plastic pollution in recent days. So in this paper we mainly discussed that rather keeping these plastic wastes in environment and wait for its degradation these plastic wastes can be recycled by producing bricks from it which can be used for construction purpose and can open up a new era in industry.
