    The Plastic Pavers is prepared by utilizing the waste plastics. Plastic waste which is increasing day by day becomes eyesore and in turn pollutes the environment, especially in Metropolitans areas. A large amount of plastic is being brought into the separation regions are discarded or burned which leads to the contamination of environment and air. Hence, these waste plastics are to be effectively utilized. The waste plastic is heated and added with sand at various percentages to obtain Paver blocks to control pollution and to reduce the overall cost of construction. Hence in this work, an attempt is made to study regard the properties of the Plastic Paver block which is manufactured using plastic wastes. In this present work the Plastic paver are made by adding 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% of plastic waste by weight of sand required to fill mould of pavers. In that four trail work, it is found that minimum 60% waste additive is required to get desired shape of mould and 70% waste additive Trail is found have minimum compressive strength of 14.7 MPa.
