The use of plastic is increasing day by day, although steps were taken to reduce its consumption. This
creates substantial garbage every day which is much unhealthy. A healthy and sustainable reuse of plastics offers a host of advantages. The suitability of recycled plastics as coarse aggregate in concrete and its advantages are discussed here. The initial questions arising of the bond strength and the heat of hydration regarding plastic aggregate were solved. Tests were conducted to determine the properties of plastic aggregate such as density, specific gravity and aggregate crushing value. Partial replacement at various percentage. The percentage substitution that gave higher compressive strength and flexural strength, higher compressive strength was found with 10% &15% NCA replaced concrete.
