-The safe disposal of non-recyclable thin plastics bags is the most challenging issue for the solid wastemanagement across the globe. Even today, at least 15% of total plastic waste remains untreated [1]. Concrete is the firstchoice for construction in many countries today. This has increased the fast vanishing of natural resources. It could beworth experimenting to use non recyclable plastic bags in concrete to overcome the dual issue of shortage of rawmaterial and safe disposal of left over plastic to environment. This paper presents a study of various strength of concretemade by mixing of plastic bags as concrete ingredients. This study focuses on the use of polyethylene plastic bags of lessthan 20 micron thick use in M25 mix design concrete. Plastic was added 0%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2% by volume. Thecompressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure strength were measured
