With advancements in recycling technologies and increased awareness, it is possible to mitigate the harmful effects of plastic waste while creating new opportunities for innovation and economic growth. This study explores Eco Lite Bricks, an innovative building material made from waste plastic powder, glass powder, cement, and a foaming agent. These bricks provide a sustainable waste management solution and offer improved insulation and reduced density. Preliminary results show that Eco Lite Bricks have favorable mechanical properties and durability, making them a viable alternative to traditional bricks, enhancing construction industry sustainability and addressing waste disposal issues.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Eco friendly</kwd><kwd> Foaming agent</kwd><kwd> Waste plastic powder</kwd></kwd-group><counts><ref-count count='' /><page-count count='' /></counts></article-meta></front></article>
