Among the plastic wastes, Styrofoam wastes share the lion's share. Styrofoam wastesare non-degradable also possess the threat of poisonous gas emission when burnt the mainchallenge is to recycle without the emission of poisonous gases. In this thought wecome tothe idea of Styrofoam bricks. The Styrofoam brick mainly consists of Styrofoam, acetoneand sand. Styrofoam bricks can be manufactured through 4 kinds of process, dissolution ofStyrofoam in acetone, mixing with sand, moulding and drying. Why we are preparing thisbrickistoget highstrengthand reducedweightalso itis notbrittle liketheordinarybricks. This will have good load bearing capacity. It can be used to construct partition wall,pavement,roofingetc
