ABSTRACT
The general objective of this research work was to contribute to the environment decontamination. Its specific objective to develops sustainable roofing tiles from ecological point of view. In this way this technology contribute in the decontainmenation of the environment since it uses waste material that are burned in municipal land without any use , or accumulated and burned in landfill, causing pollution plastic and rubber are non-biodegradable material so nature cannot absorb them as other waste. The typical tiles made from soil or clay will be limited because it destroyed the farmland on the other land the old and tire and plastic increases year and year which brings serious environmental problem so the plastic tiles made from waste plastic will lot to decrease above environmental pressure. The measurement of physical and mechanical properties show that plastic waste tiles whose proportion in plastic 40give better result than micro-concrete tiles.

1. INTRODUCTION
As the modern life is unthinkable without plastic but there is catch. Today life style we see plastic everywhere .In day to day life the use of plastic in many ways such as plastics bags, toys, tables , tv box, water bottles, so above mention plastic solid in nature. Plastic is an unavoidable use of common man if at a time plastic use and people discard it and thorough out in open atmosphere. Many researchers has conclude that disposal of plastic upto 300 year it is very dangerous to human life as well as earth. Plastic consists unwanted substances and chemical. If we burn plastic then it produces poisonous gases, smell and hazardous material. So we want to help some percent for environment by using plastic material in construction. In our study we mainly concentrate on using this wastage of plastic as row material for the production of tiles. Plastic are non- biodegradable ,synthetic polymers derived primarily from petro-fossil feed stock and made of long chain hydrocarbon with additive and can be moulded into finished product.(excluding compostable plastic or polymer confirming IS/ISO 17088:2008) (Reference -textbook on plastic material by Prof. J.A. Brydson). We are collecting this solid plastic and crush this material to convert it in small and small particles.. Also it process different colour turn plastic material into appropriate colour. This plastic is mix into binding agent and put this homogenous material in to mould it take some time to set and get good tiles. To keep the environment clean and healthy, the plastic waste should be removed as early as possible. The tiles which are produced by this wastage of plastic have better performance and strength as compared to ordinary tiles.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
In 1998, Athos Poldidor “METHOD OF MAKING COMPOSITE TILES CONTAINING WASTE PLASTIC” The present invention concerns a manufacturing process and a related product constituted of a tile in plastic material. The process comprises the following operative stages crushing a thermoplastic material of recovery.
Athanas Konin ―USE OF PLASTIC WASTES BINDING MATERIAL INTHE MANUFACTURE OF TILES: CASE OF WASTES WITH A BASIC OF POLYPROPYLENE” According to konin the plastic waste tiles have low porosity hence it makes tiles impervious in opposition to micro-concrete tiles. The
Yong Liu “MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF ROOF TILES MADE TIRE POWDER AND WASTE PLASTICS‖ According to the principle that the impact strength is the most important mechanical performance and the modulus of elasticity and elongation at break are the secondly important; a sample that contains equal rubber powder and plastic was taken as the best.
3. MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
Collection of Material: (1) Crushed Plastic( 2 ) M E K P (3) Epoxy Resin
Preparation of tiles consists of a thermosetting casting method. In this method, a plastic material are crushed by using crushing machinery and then this material binds together with binding material like epoxy resin, epoxy hardener(glue) with a small amount of accelerator and hardener MEKP. This mixture should be homogenous and appropriate proportion. We are using thermosetting plastic in our project because it doesn't require any heat and pressure treatment.
Proportion:
● 1:1:6 (Hardner: Epoxy Resin :Plastic material) ● 2:2:6 (Hardner: Epoxy Resin :Plastic material) ● Result:
Flexural Test:
Plastic Tiles: Size:300x300x15MM
Mangalore Tiles: Size:300x300x15MM
Abrasion Test:
Plastic Tiles: Size:300x300x15MM
Comparison of Plastic tile and ordinary tile
FUTURE SCOPE:
After completion of above project is noted that this plastic tiles presenting un economical but in future research on that issue will be possibility make that this tiles economical. We will change the percentage of plastic waste also there are possibility to change the binding material like resin-melamine resin polyester etc this are the chemical which will be economical. If we use fire proof reagent, modern method, colour reagent for making this tiles then it will more glossiness and efficient. If we increase our production in large quantity there will be possibility of chemical present in it will be at low cost.
CONCLUSION:
As above project studied that the plastic is harmful for environment and very much amount plastic waste discard in surrounding in daily routing. So, we try to minimize as well as utilization of this plastic waste in civil construction field by production of plastic tiles with waste plastic material. We trying to best to do efficient tiles form these materials but presently this tough task to us because of uneconomical production of this tiles it is possible to use another chemical for binding material such as polyester or other which may be economical in future.
