Abstract

This study intends to design and fabricate a Plastic Reinforced Brick Manufacturing Machine that reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills, which is a major source of pollution. Beverage packaging, which is commonly used for water, soda, cool beverages, and juice, as well as plastic bags and food containers, are the most prevalent recyclable plastic products. The bricks are used to reinforce these recyclable plastic items. Availability of traditional building materials, both in terms of quantity and quality, is a difficult issue for builders in this time of energy crisis and rapidly dwindling resources. The demand for building materials is skyrocketing on a daily basis, owing to the ever-increasing needs of the housing and habitat industries. The researchers were forced to re-orient themselves in order to evolve as a result of the catastrophe.

Keywords
