“…To decrease this effect, cheap, environmentfriendly and light-weight construction materials need to be used (Kognole, Shipkule, & Survase, 2019;Wahid et al, 2015). Three different cost-effective construction materials can be used i.e., tetra pack chip panels, wood plastic composite, and PET eco-bricks (Arredondo-Orozco et al, 2019). Another eco-friendly alternative included the use of PET based plastic bricks (Jayaprakash et al, 2016).…”

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the amount of plastic waste. The demand for food and plastic-packaged foodstuffs has increased, and the use of disposable utensils has increased. The large usage of plastic packaging was the main factor which contributed to the plastic waste disposal. Since these plastic wastes are not easily degraded, it has led into massive environmental pollution. Transitioning towards eco-friendly materials fornewsustainabletechnologieswillbecriticaltocombatingfuturepandemicsandreducetheplasticwaste.Hence, recycling of plastic waste and its re-utilization as green and eco-friendly construction material could decrease the tendency of environmental pollution. In this review paper, we have presented an overview of the published articles which recycled plastic waste as an eco-friendly aggregate material for different construction-based applications before COVID 19 and during COVID 19. Furthermore, the processing methods which were suggested in the published articles for recycling plastic waste have been discussed. A few construction materials could be developed by utilizing the plastic wastes, including the polymer-modified asphalt mixes, eco-bricks, and construction and demolitionmaterials.Theseproductscouldbeusedasnovelproductsfor othersustainableapplicationsandbenefits of circular economy. According to several reports, polymeric based plastic wastes can be effectively used as a recycledmaterial,decrease the demand for traditional material sandal so tremendously reduce the construction costs.

“…These form a solid wastes which are not easily degraded and it was kept exponentially accumulated, thereby causing a huge environmental burden (X. . The primary and secondary carbon molecules present on the polymeric structures of the plastic materials were mainly responsible for their non-biodegradable properties (Arredondo-Orozco et al, 2019).…”
