Abstract
The use of plastic is increasing day by day, although steps were taken to reduce its consumption. The suitability of recycled plastics shredded as coarse aggregate in concrete and its advantages are discussed here. Tests were conducted to determine the properties of plastic aggregate density, specific gravity and aggregate crushing value. As 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) with shredded plastic is not feasible, partial replacement at various percentage were examined. Higher compressive strength was found with 5% NCA replaced concrete.
