However, its excessive production has become a serious threat to the environment and the human health. Disposal of plastic wastes in the environment degrades land fertility, deteriorates aesthetic value of a place and threatens human health. Therefore, this paper discusses on the method of reducing plastic wastes as well as safeguarding natural aggregates by incorporating it into concrete. This will help to provide an ecofriendly and economical construction material. In this study we have study the effect of replacement of coarse aggregate by plastic aggregates has been studied by using various proportions i.e. 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. This papers covers the study behavior of recycled plastic aggregate in concrete has been investigated compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. It aims on finding the optimum percentage replacement of natural coarse aggregate with plastic coarse aggregate with some variation in plastic constituents by adding some Scrap metal pieces to increase compressive strength also to increase the waste plastic in concrete which can give the same or more strength compared to nominal concrete. Hence, it can be said use of plastic waste in concrete can reduce environmental concern and can save our land from becoming barren.
