Abstract
Plastics pose serious environmental problems due to their non-renewable nature and large landfill space. Theyare increasingly used in industries like automobiles, packaging, and medical care due to their ease ofmanufacturing, handling, and reliability. However, hydraulically operated machines are expensive for smalland medium-sized industries. This paper discusses the design and fabrication of pneumatically operatedinjection plastic molding machines, which are the most widely used and man-made materials due to their easymanufacturing, shaping, and biodegradability. The paper also addresses the issue of waste plastic incinerationor landfills, highlighting the need for a partial solution environment that reduces costs and low density. It alsoaddresses the imbalance between conventional building materials availability and demand. The disposal ofplastic waste is a significant challenge, as repeated recycling poses potential environmental risks. The paperproposes using plastic waste to create tiles with sand in a 3:2 ratio, which have negligible water absorption andsatisfactory compressive strength compared to normal tiles. This approach aims to address the environmentalconcerns associated with plastic waste and promote sustainable practices in various industries
