ABSTRACT: Due to the characteristics of bricks, bricks are one of the most common building materials. Many attempts
have been made by blowing rubber bands, such as rubber, paper, plastic, and cloth. The waste is recycled from various
types of waste into waste bricks. Many successfully processed waste materials and their effects on the physical and
mechanical properties of bricks are discussed. The performance of bricks made from scrap.
KEYWORDS: Waste Management, Waste Recycling, Building Material
I.INTRODUCTION
The increasing popularity of environmentally friendly use of these bricks are cheap and heavy building materials in
construction. Recycling waste from a variety of building materials such as textiles, paper, rubber, rubber, plastics and other
wastes, because these wastes are mainly used for building exterior and interior walls. Due to the large number of finished
products in construction, the brick industry in the technical industry is most suitable for collecting solid waste.
Various attempt were made to incorporate various waste material in bricks production such as textile laundry plastic, paper,
rubber, chewing gum, etc. this highlights are the effects of various waste material on the bricks property like physical and
mechanical properties.
The material are used in manufacturing of waste material bricks:-
1) Chewing gum
2) Water
3) Rubber
4) Papers
5) Textile material
6) Plastic
Accumulation of material:-
Accumulation of material in the basic and important step in any project, also the material which is used in a project should
not cause any demand to the environment material were used to make building bricks.
Chewing Gum:-
The key ingredient used in making bricks comes from the specially. Formulated gum based using the industrial waste,
which them binds the bricks together and high durability.

Water:-
Water is an important ingredient of paper Crete as it is involved in the chemical reaction with cement. Potable water should
be for both soaking and mixing of paper Crete. It should be free organic matter and the pH value should be between 6&7.
Paper:-
Paper is a natural polymer which consist of wood cellulose is made of unit of monomer glueose, although containing
several hydroxyl group, cellulose in water insoluble. The reasons in the stiffness of the chain and hydrogen bounding
between two (OH) groups on adjacent chains. The chain also pack regularly in place to from hard, stable crystalline region
that give more stability and strength.
Rubber:-
The quality of bricks plays a key roes in the strength of structure, the addition of raw materials like epdm rubber and stone
dust will improve the strain of bricks and also improve environment conditions.
Plastic:-
The plastic brick used for further in construction project due to its high weight and economic purpose. The plastic used in
the many form in the construction like bricks, tiles, road construction etc. when plastic use for these construction the
structures will be more economics and it have enough strength, durability.
II.LITERATURE REVIEW
The research paper and literature collected on the various topics is listed below
Mond monish (1982):- They investigate that huge quantities of construction and demolition waste are generated every years
in the developing countries like waste is a very serious problem because it requires huge space for its disposal and very
little demolished waste is recycled and reused
Algin et al (2007) :- Investigated that cotton waste and lime stone powder waste combination to be used in the production
of economical new brick material
Dr. A.M. Pande (2003):- Dr.A.M.Pande investigated that rice husk ash which are the waste product of agricultural Industry
can as material in concrete which not only improve also leads to the proper disposal of these material resulting the impact
of these material on environment
Shah et al (2009):- A addition of natural fiber jute fiber and banner fiber 0.5% separately in fly ash brick mix Proportion
give favourable compressive strength. Use of fly ash and natural fiber help to reduce environmental degradation.
Arya R Kansal (2016):- Utilization of waste paper to produced eco-friendly bricks, research of physical character is tics of
paper bricks.
III.EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
According to the research, up to now, there is no hard and fast made for format mix design of papercrete, and in that respect
no hard procedure for casting the brick. Thus, in this research, same laboratory test were performed to obtain some
mechanical properties of papercrete.
After collecting all the material, a mould was prepared of size 19*9*9cm. joints were made without any hole or gap to
avoid any leakage.
There are four different operations are involved in the process of manufacturing of the bricks.
1) Batching
2) Mixing
3) Moulding
4) Drying
Batching:-
The ingredient are accurate and precise measurement of material for making cement is known as batching. Weight batching
in the accurate methodology used globally of measuring the materials. For significance mix in manufacturing of bricks.

Mixing:-
The material are chewing gum, rubber, plastic, textile material, paper and then it to be mix together with adding sufficient
amount of water is added to the mix it is get good uniform colour. Work at site with use of bricks making is most important
in manufacturing of bricks.
Moulding:-
The mould is placed at the ground and standard size of brick mould is 19*9*9 cm. apply the oil to the mould and placed the
waste material in the mould and compacting the waste material mixer in the mould. After 5 minutes mould is removed from
the bricks, and there placed in sunlight. Within two days bricks will be harder.
Drying:-
After moulding process the bricks content some amount of moisture in it ….
The brick are laid in stacks…
The period of draying may be 3to10 days ….
The draying yards are also prepared on higher level than the normal ground for the prevention of bricks from rain water

Advantage of bricks prepared by waste material
1. Allow recycling of waste plastic.
2. Exotic shapes are possible for decoration purposes.
3. They should be sufficiently economical with potential to easy recycling.
4. If brick covered with aluminium foil perhaps glued with epoxy they would with stand UV Much better
5. They are thinner and lighter as compare to convention brick.
6. It’s also less energy intensive than recycling the plastic into other forms.
7. The brick have superb heat insulating properties.
8. The brick made from waste material helps in cleaning the environment.
Disadvantages of bricks prepare from waste material
1. Lesser fire resisting qualities as compared to the conventional bricks.
2. It requires extra inclusion of detail when extra decorative addition are required.
3. Mortar would not stick, unless they are designed with specialized rough surface. Even when, mortar is not
expected to stick reliably.
4. Plastic is flammable it would need to pay any application construction codes.

5. Plastic may appear storage, but it would deform under pressure it would limit its utility in any typical weight
bearing application.
IV.RESULT AND DISCUSSION
After casting the bricks they were analysed for using as a brick. For this, various test were conceded out to confirm the
properties to brick and the result of the test were analysed by the exciting and standard result.
The following test were carried out to check the strength of bricks.
1) Hardness
In this test, a scratch is tried to make on the brick surface with the help of a finger Nat. it no impression is left on the surface
of the brick is taken and enough hard.
2) Shape and size
In this test, a brick is closely observed. It should be is standard size and its shape should be truly regular with Sharpe edge
and corners for this purpose. Brick of standard size (19*9*9cm) are selected at random and they are scratch length wise,
along with the wide and along with the height.
3) Soundness
In this test, two bricks are taken and they are struck, with each other, the brick should not break and a clear ringing sound
should be produced.
4) Water absorption test
A brick is dried is weighted it is then immersed in water for a period of 24h difference in weight indicates the amount of
water absorbed by the brick, it should not, in any case, exceed 20% of the weight of dry brick for first class.
Water absorption (%)
V.CONCLUSION
1) Based on the results of this study, follow-up studies of this study show that the brick-making technology used for waste
is effectively acceptable, and brick-making will harden within two days after preparation. It is recommended to use the
brick outside the building.
2) As per research the bricks should not absorb water more than 20%. The water absorption capacity of paper Crete brick
was found to be more than 20%, which makes it not suitable for waterlogging and external walls. However, by
providing a waterproof coating it can also be used as external wall.
3) The weight of the waste materials brick was 1/3rd to 2/5thlesser than the conventional clay brick. Due to less weight of
waste materials bricks, the total dead load of the building will be reduced.
4) Due to lesser weight and more flexibility, these bricks are potentially ideal material for earthquake prone regions.
5) Since, this brick mainly consists of waste material, it will reduce the landfills and pollution. Hence, the overall cost is
very low as compared to conventional brick. It has been seen that by using Waste material bricks in a building
construction, the total cost was reduced from 20% to 50%.
