But With development of population pollution level and impact of pollution on human life and human health are also increasing. Plastic is one of the main components of pollution as reason is multiple Use of plastic like packaging of verities of product multi-fold in, due to low price and convenience in handling, but however, community of people is not aware about its impact on the human health and environment on littering or dumping. So that it is one of the most important challenge and need of human is to improve the performance of concrete and dispose waste intelligently. For that solution to be find out with use of technology to overcome these problems As the Magnetic water concrete, synthesized from the normal materials used for manufacturing of concrete which provides 10% to 20% extra strength to concrete, provides one route towards this objective. Good thing is normal water can easily replace with magnetic water and dispose waste plastic by which quantity of cement and sand used in any concrete mix reduces and we can made as new Eco-friendly material of construction for future. Key Words: Coarse Aggregate, Compressive Strength using magnetic water, Magnetic water, Plastic Waste 1.INTRODUCTION )t is worth to mention that use of plastic for packagingǯs and manufacturing product of different types has increased multi-fold in the last one decade due to low price of plastic and convenience in handling, however, community of people is not aware about its impact on the human health and environment on littering or dumping. In India, every year approximately 15-16 Million tones products of plastic are consumed (2016), which is expected to rise in future. It is also known that about 50-60% of its consumption is converted into waste. Mostly plastics is used in the form of for packaging films, carry bags, wrapping materials like carry bags, fluid containers clothing, toys, like bottles, household applications, industrial products, engineering applications, building materials, domestic use etc. As conventional plastic waste is non-biodegradable and remains on landscape for several years, responsible for polluting environment because life cycle of plastic waste remains incomplete and ultimately it is dumped on the land- fill sites. It is also well established that all types of plastics waste cannot be recycled; which result that, it accumulated into open drains, open land, beside of roads, low-lying areas, river banks, coastal areas, sea-beaches etc., recycling of a virgin plastic product can be done for 3-4 times only with too much mixing with virgin plastics granules, therefore, after every recycling its strength and quality of plastic product deteriorate. With similar to that, recycled plastic is more harmful to the human health and environment than the virgin plastic due to mixing of color, additives, stabilizers, flame retardants etc., with emission of toxic gas. Critical issues for disposal of Plastic Wastes: 1. During production and polymerization process lot of toxic fugitive emissions in form of gases are released which are harmful for health; 2. Sub-standard plastic carry bags, packaging films etc. (<40micron) lead to several problems in collection and recycling and ultimately dumped elsewhere; 3. Littered plastic waste chokes the drain line and may responsible for flood during monsoon season with that specially plastic carry-bags/thin films give anesthetic look in the city, 4. Indiscriminate littering and non-biodegradability of plastic waste raise several environmental issues; such as unaesthetic look in city, choking of drains, making land infertile & on ingestion by cattles lead to death. 5. Unaesthetic look in city, choking of drains, making land infertile & on ingestion by cattles lead to death. For such critical issues for disposal of Plastic Waste we can find one solution with use of concrete blended with plastic. As from the study of papers chemicals and admixtures are added to concrete while mixing concrete to alter the properties of concrete to obtain a concrete with desired quality and property. In many cases, these chemicals and admixtures are added to get concrete with increased strength. The chemicals that are required for increasing the strength will be rarely available in rural areas and it will cost more in case of large projects.
