“…Masonry walls can transfer structural loads to the foundations or resist lateral wind and earthquake loads. The strength of mortar joints and the surface friction of the blocks contribute significantly to the lateral resistance of conventional masonry walls [65]. The cohesion of conventional continuous wall systems provides their initial shear strength.…”

This paper reports on using waste polyethylene to form plastic-bonded sand interlocking blocks for wall construction. The production process, mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms of three different interlocking block wall systems are reported. Plastic-bonded composite blocks were formed by mixing sand into waste polyethylene in a high-temperature extruder. The blocks formed had densities between 1.5 and 1.6 g cm−3 and compressive strengths of approximately 15.0 MPa. This is significantly higher than the conventional sandcrete wall blocks that are widely used in developing countries. The blocks were used to construct walls with dimensions of 1.0 m × 1.0 m × 0.15 m, and these were subjected to in-plane compressive loads. The compressive strengths of the walls ranged from 4.2 to 5.7 MPa. Variations in the block composition did not affect the failure mechanism, but the extent of the block damage after failure varied significantly. The potential for using waste plastics to form interlocking construction blocks for use in low-cost construction is discussed.

This study evaluates the possible effects of sawdust from scrap wood on the mechanical and microstructure characteristics of interlocking bricks when used as an additive in construction materials. Bricks with increased porosity levels were manufactured by adding more recycled wood sawdust ash (WSA) additive at larger sizes. The findings demonstrated that while sound insulation and water absorption increased with the addition of WSA, compressive strength decreased. WSA is added to aid increase unit weight and compressive strength. A higher WSA results in improved sound absorption. WSA are therefore intriguing raw materials for the creation of construction materials that use less energy.

“…Bricks are used in constructing buildings and other structures since the early civilisation period (Afzal et al, 2020). A majority of the conventional bricks are made using sand and clay, mixed in a proportion based on the binder materials used (Murmu & Patel, 2018).…”

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.
