Abstract-This paper aims to study the possibility of using plastic waste as a binding material as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate. It is very complicate to destroy the plastic, so the only solution is to recycle or it can be reuse, we have using lots of plastic type but particularly we were taking PVC (poly vinyl chloride) for the reuse.Fresh properties of geopolymer concrete are evaluated by slump cone test and compaction factor test by replacing 10%,20% and30% of plastic wastes by coarse aggregate. Mix design was calculated by using flyash, M-Sand, coarse aggregate, plastic wastes for M25 geopolymer concrete mix. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were used as alkaline activator solution. Rest period of three days were given. Specimens were cured under ambient temperature condition. Superplasticizer of polycarboxyl based(SP430Fosroc) with 1% by volume of concrete is used in this project.
