E-plastic waste utilization reduces aggregate costs, landfill costs and energy prices. Rapid population growth coexisted with industrialization and a dynamic shift in the volume of garbage produced. These dangerous wastes and other types of waste represent a serious threat to the ecosystem as well as human health. Therefore, the issue of efficient waste management is essential to the preservation of the environment, human health and livelihood. Concrete coarse aggregate made from plastic and recovered e-waste is being tested for feasibility. Testing was done to find out the characteristics of electronic plastic waste when used as coarse aggregate (2%, 4%, 6%, & 8%). These characteristics included specific gravity, water absorption, fineness test, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete.</p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>10</month><day>10</day><year>2023</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>212</first_page><last_page>215</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_04799</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.004799</doi><timestamp>1715269165</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_04799</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
