Intro:Body:
Salem: A private college in Tamil Nadu's Salem recycles and dismantles once-discarded plastic materials into beautiful decorations and construction materials.
The state government which banned the single-use plastics are now finding it difficult to manage the growing waste generation even after the ban.
To improve the plastic management practices, this college in Surumangalam region has started to re-engineer the waste plastic into raw materials to be used in construction material.
Plastic wastes such as bottles, containers and other utensils once broken are crushed into pellets are mixed with construction materials like concrete and bricks. Similarly, plastic bags are burned and bitumen, fly ash and other by-products are mixed while making bricks providing a solid core of building materials.
If the plastics are lightweight and the bricks made out of them are used in making buildings, it acts as weather resistance and provides low budget options in house construction projects.
Such better ways to successfully manage the plastic waste will go a long way in supporting a campaign for a plastic-free India.
