Abstract: This research work focus on the experimental study related to strength parameters testing of concrete made with plastic waste collected from plastic recycling industry. The tests conducted by replacing waste plastic aggregates with natural granite coarse aggregates in concrete by partial replacement percentages like 0%, 5% and 10%. Tests conducted by considering M-30 grade concrete. Experimental tests conducted to check its basic physical properties, concrete in fresh state and concrete in hardened state like compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and shear strength. Results observed that replacement of waste plastic from plastic recycling industry have shown normal values up to 5% replacements.
