Plastic bricks business


RECYCLED PLASTIC BRICKS – COMPLETE BUSINESS PLAN (INDIA)

WHAT IS THIS?

This is a low-cost, eco-friendly brick manufacturing model where waste plastic is converted into construction bricks by mixing it with sand and a small quantity of cement.
It solves plastic waste problems and creates a profitable manufacturing business.

WHY THIS WORKS

• Plastic waste is available everywhere
• Construction demand is always high
• Production cost is very low
• Selling price is 4–6× the cost
• No advanced technology required

RAW MATERIALS REQUIRED

• Recycled plastic waste (LDPE / HDPE bags, wrappers, covers)
• Clean sand
• Cement (small percentage to increase strength)
• Water (only if cement is used)

STEP-BY-STEP MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Step 1: Plastic Collection
Collect waste plastic from scrap dealers, households, shops, and waste collectors.

Step 2: Washing & Drying
Clean plastic to remove oil, dirt, and food waste. Dry completely.

Step 3: Shredding
Use a plastic shredder to cut plastic into small pieces.

Step 4: Mixing
Mix shredded plastic with sand and a small percentage of cement in fixed proportions.

Step 5: Brick Molding
Compress the mixture into brick molds using a manual or hydraulic press.

Step 6: Curing / Cooling
Allow bricks to cool or cure properly before use.

Step 7: Quality Check
Check shape, strength, and finish before selling.

COST OF PRODUCTION (PER BRICK)

• Recycled plastic – ₹1.50
• Sand – ₹0.50
• Cement – ₹0.50
• Labour, power & overhead – ₹0.50

Total cost: ₹2–3 per brick

SELLING PRICE & PROFIT

• Market selling price: ₹12 – ₹20 per brick

Profit per brick: ₹9 – ₹17

Example (1,000 bricks):
• Cost: ₹3,000
• Revenue: ₹12,000 – ₹20,000
• Profit: ₹9,000 – ₹17,000

WHERE THESE BRICKS CAN BE USED

• Boundary walls
• Pavements & walkways
• Small structures
• Non-load-bearing walls
• Temporary constructions

(For structural use, lab testing is mandatory)

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED (SMALL SCALE SETUP)

• Plastic shredder
• Mixing machine
• Brick press (manual or hydraulic)
• Weighing scale
• Safety gloves & masks

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

• Reduces plastic pollution
• Prevents plastic burning
• Saves soil used in clay bricks
• Lower carbon emissions

BUSINESS ADVANTAGES

• Low investment
• Easy raw material availability
• Scalable from small to large units
• High demand from builders & contractors
• Suitable for individuals, SHGs, startups

RISKS & IMPORTANT POINTS

• Plastic must be properly segregated
• Quality control is critical
• Lab testing needed for certification
• Do not claim structural strength without approval

HOW TO START (ACTION PLAN)

  1. Start small with manual machines
  2. Produce 200–500 bricks for trial
  3. Get sample bricks lab-tested
  4. Approach local builders & contractors
  5. Scale production after demand confirmation
