Urbanization has led to an increase in trash production, environmental damage, and waste management problems. A lack of utilization and proper disposal of solid waste raises environmental problems. Sustainable waste management and recycling processes have gained a lot of traction in the civil construction sector. As a valuable resource, plastic rubbish may be recycled and repurposed in several ways. Recycling plastic aggregates or plastic fibres in lieu of natural aggregates or steel-reinforced mesh may be an example of a concrete usage that might benefit from this approach (SRM). The mechanical properties of this concrete have been thoroughly researched, although environmental studies are rare in the literature. According to this research, recycled plastic aggregate and fibre studies are evaluated for their environmental impacts. We'll go through a few of the most typical applications for recycled plastic in this section. It follows that environmental impact studies are studied and argued. In addition, this study focuses on research gaps and challenges in environmental assessment.
