Abstract

A suitable approach for this situation is using some part of urban rubbish or waste as required materials for building construction. Plastic is considered as urban junk .but with sustainability characteristic it can be used as construction material instead of some conventional material in building construction. The work intends to investigate the application of various type of plastic such as PVC, LDPE and HDPE which is one of the urban waste in building construction and that how it can lead to sustainable development .It also mentions some ways for self-standing and insulating them in thermal and sound point of view and some positive points which this material have versus others.
