Bakelite being a plastic material creates an environmental problem and causes health issues to public during its disposal process. In order to overcome this problem, many researchers involved in making waste Bakelite as a useful material for Civil engineering field. This study describes about the basic concept and application of Bakelite which is made into different forms of construction material. In order to reduce the waste management problem created by disposal of waste Bakelite into direct land filling and open burning, this study reveals the use of Bakelite as fine aggregate as well as coarse aggregate in construction field. Paver Blocks & Solid Blocks are manufactured using waste Bakelite as a partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregate with the percentage of 3%,6%,9%12% respectively and partial replacement of coarse aggregate with the percentage of 6%,12%,18%,24%. Tests are conducted to examine its strength and compared with conventional material.
