Due to population growth, usages of plastic materials are increasing day by day, most of the plastic materials are dumped as landfill and they are not effectively reused in most of the applications. Numerous researches in most were carried out using waste rubber in pavement construction. So the aim of this project is to replace cement with waste plastic in paver block and to reduce the cost of paver block in compared to that of conventional concrete paver block at present nearly 56 lakhs tons of waste plastic is produced in India per year. The degradation rate of plastic waste is also very slow process. And in addition with waste plastic waste lime sludge from paper industry which replaces fine aggregate. In this project we have used waste plastic and lime sludge in different proportions with sand. The paver bocks were prepared and tested and the results were discussed elaborately.
