Nowadays Plastic waste is the global issue. Study estimated that India generates 9.46 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. It is hazardous for not only human begins but also for the animals and environment as well. This paper deals with the utilization of plastic waste as a replacement to cement. On the other hand, for the construction industry the demand of river sand is increasing day by day and there is decrease in its availability, so there is an immediate need for finding suitable alternatives which can replace sand partially or at a high proportion. Utilization of Ceramic waste is one of the active research area that encompass the effectiveness of replacement in all the aspects of construction materials. Paver block paving is versatile, aesthetically attractive, functional, and cost-effective and requires little or no maintenance if correctly manufactured and laid. Most concrete block paving constructed in India also has performed satisfactorily, but two main areas of concern are occasional failure due to excessive surface wear and variability in the strength of block. It is very essential to develop eco-friendly concrete from plastic waste as well as ceramic waste. This paper deals with the partial replacement of cement by waste plastic and sand by using ceramic waste. In order to analyze changes in properties of the samples of paver were cast with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% replacement of cement using plastic waste and with constant 10% replacement of sand using ceramic waste and tested for different periods of curing like 7 days, 14 days and 28 days.
