Abstract
Malaysia is one of the countries that produced thousands of plastics wastes every year. The research aims to develop sustainable bricks with thermosetting plastic waste. As part of the sand replacement, 15 brick samples were prepared and mixed with different melamine-formaldehyde (MF) content percentages. MF's style substitutions are 5%, 10%, and 15% whereas conventional bricks can be bought at the nearest shop. Three testing were conducted to measure the performances of sustainable sand brick in comparison with the conventional sand brick. The Bricks containing 15% MF demonstrated the best hybrid configuration in the testing process. Compared with other modified bricks and conventional bricks, the 15% MF bricks always displayed a higher positive value in every test performed. It shows the favor value of density, water absorption, and compressive strength test.
