This study focuses on the effective uses of waste polyethylene bags in concrete. In the present era, polythene has become a part of our routine lives that lead to the growth of plastic waste, which is either combined with municipal waste or disposed of on land. On the recommendation of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, 2021, regulation of plastics waste, particularly the manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale, and use of recycled plastics carry bags and containers, which have low utility and high littering potential is banned in India, from July 1, 2022. Concrete has the lion’s share in most used construction materials in the world. To overcome the safe disposal of residual plastic in the environment, it is necessary to experiment with the use of non-recyclable polythene waste. This research presents a new concept of adding polythene waste to concrete mix with the comparative study of workability, compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of concrete made using polythene bags in fibrous form with different doses. In this study polythene bags in the fibrous form are added 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6% 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, and 1.0% by weight of cement for making M20 concrete. A total of 216 concrete specimens were prepared including 72 cubes, 72 cylinders, and 72 beams throughout the study for analyzing the workability, compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths of polythene waste mix concrete. An increment of 24.76%, 15.5%, and 27.6% was observed in compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength was observed at 28 d.
