This paper presents the study on the clayey soil reinforced with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. Post-consumer plastic water bottle was used as a PET waste. Plastic bottles were cleaned and strips were cut manually maintaining aspect ratio 2 and 4. The recycled PET strips were mixed in clayey soil in various combinations. This combination ranges from 0 to 1% of the weight of soil. Especially, the study was carried out on the properties of soil such as compaction characteristics and CBR value of soil. Main parameter was to investigate the optimum dosage and effective aspect ratio influencing the behavior of clayey soil. The investigation shows that there is significant improvement in the properties of soil like OMC, MDD, and CBR value. This experimentation shows the potential use of waste plastic in improving the problematic or weak soil. The entire world is facing the nuisance of plastic pollution, so this may prove the effective way of recycling of waste plastic in the application of pavement.
