Eco-Friendly Blocks from High Density Polyethylene Waste and Rice Husk

This project aims to create eco-friendly paving blocks by combining high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waste and rice husk, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete blocks. By blending and molding these materials, the resulting blocks are tested for key properties like strength, water absorption, and density. HDPE, a common plastic pollutant, and rice husk, an agricultural byproduct, are repurposed to reduce landfill waste and promote environmental sustainability. The blocks are lightweight, durable, and provide thermal insulation, making them suitable for construction. This innovative process supports the circular economy and reduces the environmental impact of conventional building materials. Overall, the project demonstrates the potential of recycling waste materials to create greener, more sustainable construction options.
