The escalating global plastic waste crisis and the urgent demand for sustainable construction solutions have fueled interest in innovative building materials. This study investigates the feasibility of recycled plastic bricks as a viable alternative to conventional masonry materials. Through detailed analysis of material composition, manufacturing processes, and mechanical and thermal performance, recycled plastic bricks are shown to offer strong compressive strength, enhanced thermal insulation, and significant environmental benefits through waste repurposing. The results highlight that plastic bricks not only meet fundamental structural requirements for low-rise and modular housing applications but also align with circular economy principles by transforming plastic waste into durable construction components. Compared to traditional materials such as fired clay bricks and concrete blocks, recycled plastic bricks demonstrate advantages in weight reduction, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This research emphasizes the potential of recycled plastic bricks to contribute to sustainable urban development, reduce carbon emissions, and promote greener construction practices. Further standardization, scalability improvements, and broader climate adaptability studies are recommended to fully realize their application potential in various building sectors.
