Abstract The management and recycling of E plastic waste is rapidly growing as it is a valuable resource of IT industries and it is very hazardous substances and with low recycling rate. The Utilization of e plastic waste materials is a partial solution to environmental and ecological problems. As the use of E plastic waste will reduces the Aggregate cost and provides a good strength for the structures and roads. It will reduces the landfill cost and it is energy saving. The e plastic waste consists of discarded plastic waste from the old computers, TVs, refrigerators, radios; these plastics are non-biodegradable components of E plastic waste as a partial replacement of the coarse or fine aggregates. An experimental study is made on the utilization of E-waste particles as fine and coarse aggregates in concrete with a percentage replacement ranging from 0%, 20% to 30% i.e. (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) on the strength criteria of M20 Concrete. Compressive strength, Tensile strength and Flexural strength Concrete with and without E- waste plastic as aggregates was observed which exhibits a good strength. The feasibility of utilizing E-waste plastic particles as partial replacement of coarse aggregate has been presented. In the present study, compressive strength was investigated for Optimum Cement Content and 10% E-plastic content in mix yielded stability and very good in compressive strength of 53 grade cement.
