As natural aggregate sources are becoming depleted due to high demand in construction industry and the amount of disposed waste material keeps increasing, researchers are exploring the use of alternative materials which good preserve natural resources and save the environment. In this study, utilization of molten plastic waste as full substitution of cement and broken glasses as partial substitution of aggregate with fine river sand for the production of building construction input such as roof tile, floor tile and hollow plastic block is a partial solution to environmental and ecological problems. Quality control test of samples of prepared material are conducted and compared with the standard material specification. This study implies that for hallow plastic block, 33% molten plastic, 11.2% fine glass, 11.2% fine sand and 44.6% course glass gives an optimum compressive strength result and molten plastic waste with a ratio of 30% and 70% glass and sand gives better and quality roof tile, and using 32% molten plastic and 68% glass and sand is Preferable for light traffic zone (axle load less than 27Mpa) floor tile. Finally, conclude that using plastic tile in weather (wet) environment is preferable because it can resist cold and freeze weather due to low water absorption.
