Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g.sachet, bags and microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans. Plastics include: LDPE – for wrapping, sachet, bags HDPE – for gallons PET – water bottles Among others Plastic wastes are: Non-biodegradable Clog gutters Mistaken by aquatic organisms as food Habitat for pathogenic microbes Existing Solution Dumping at landfills Incineration Recycling in shoes, bags, and stones. Plastic Based Paving Stones Process: Materials: sharp sand and plastic wastes Sand is sieved to obtain uniform size of 2mm. Plastic waste is melted and sand poured in. The sand and plastic waste are properly mixed The mixture is poured into and allowed to set Merit: Option for ultimate plastic sequestration. Relatively simple process. Energy requirement is not exorbitant. Demerit: Compressive strength of the stone are lower than conventional paving stones. Risk of slipping while walking. Electricity sources may not be readily available to local residents who desire to employ this method. Innovation Using biomass based alternative as a source of material and energy: Palm kernel shell as a promising option to increase strength and grip. Sawdust, palm kernel shell, palm fruit fibre in a properly designed combustor will serve as cost effective energy source. We should educate everyone around us that plastic waste solution is readily available and join to discourage plastic pollution. https://odfidtechnicalworld..com/2021/08/plastic-wastes-to-paving-stone.html
