Elements like pipes’ and cables insulation, storage tanks, skylights, roofing, windows and doors, insulation and temporary structures can be made entirely, partly or as a bonding compound in new material mixes like WPCs wood plastic composites, carbon or natural fiber reinforced plastic. Material of this study has a vast application in the field of tensile structures construction or tents in smaller scale. One of the most common uses of plastic in the building construction is insulation of large surfaces such are walls, roofs or floors that can come in different forms commonly in foam which amounts can be adjusted to fit any form, in a prefabricated form like SIP panels as well as to securely insulate smaller details like pipes or cables. It is frequently used in the timing of the exterior building planes too. A rife problem is allergies from raw organic material objects and building components like down, sisal, cotton, coir, sea grass, etc. that can cause serious sequels like asthma, eyes and other mucous maladies can be completely eliminated with synthetic plastic-based materials-nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. This paper intends to stream how different plastic-based materials can help attain sustainable position in modern contemporary architecture.

Introduction Natural plastic existed in nature in the form of rubber long time before an artificial material was invented but only then it became revolutionary for all levels of society and technology. The topic of plastic and its effects is verily controversial in the light of latest industry expansion. Plastic has easily penetrated to all spheres of our lives and transformed it and thus society due to many unique qualities comprised of one material. A universal material made many products available to more people. Nowadays, the use of plastic is difficult to ignore; it became one of the most commonly seen material, an essential part of our everyday life and our building’s design and construction. According to Jambeck etal., (2015, p.768) the rapid of growth of plastics production is astonishing
