The “Sustainable Paving Tile: A Solid Waste Management Strategy” addresses its significance mainly in achieving SDG 11—“Sustainable Cities and Communities.” This also raises some of the other SDG goals created as part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The various types of waste produced in a developing city are considered and further classified into different categories: biodegradable waste (wet waste), non-biodegradable waste (dry waste), domestic hazardous waste, inert, sanitary waste, e-waste, construction and demolition waste, and biomedical waste. Proper disposal and management techniques for all the above-mentioned categories of waste are discussed theoretically. Construction and demolition waste and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) are the main waste categories without proper disposal and management. Therefore, this waste category was selected. The C&D waste with LDPE (105-115oc) is heated along with the construction and demolition waste, and the coconut fiber is soaked in NaOH for 24 h, which is then combined to form a mixture and placed into the molds of cubes and tiles. The samples were then removed for testing after 24–48 h. Based on the strength attained, this can be applied to floor tiles, bricks for partition walls, and road pavements for light traffic.

摘要

The “Sustainable Paving Tile: A Solid Waste Management Strategy” addresses its significance mainly in achieving SDG 11—“Sustainable Cities and Communities.” This also raises some of the other SDG goals created as part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The various types of waste produced in a developing city are considered and further classified into different categories: biodegradable waste (wet waste), non-biodegradable waste (dry waste), domestic hazardous waste, inert, sanitary waste, e-waste, construction and demolition waste, and biomedical waste. Proper disposal and management techniques for all the above-mentioned categories of waste are discussed theoretically. Construction and demolition waste and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) are the main waste categories without proper disposal and management. Therefore, this waste category was selected. The C&D waste with LDPE (105-115oc) is heated along with the construction and demolition waste, and the coconut fiber is soaked in NaOH for 24 h, which is then combined to form a mixture and placed into the molds of cubes and tiles. The samples were then removed for testing after 24–48 h. Based on the strength attained, this can be applied to floor tiles, bricks for partition walls, and road pavements for light traffic.
