dc.description.abstractFloor tiles are the most common and widely used construction and building material around the world. Most of the plastic wastes are non-bio degradable and it takes a long time to deteriorate. Even though agricultural wastes are bio degradable, it also takes a longer period of time to degrade. As a solution for environmental pollution, it was decided to manufacture a floor tile using plastic wastes and agricultural wastes. For this research, rice husk and HDPE were selected as raw materials. By varying the weight ratios of rice husk, suitable floor tile samples were obtained which tallies with the standard floor tile properties.en_US
