Abstract: 

Plastic problems have become complicated problems because the recycling process is not easy. Plastic causes pollution and requires a lot of energy for processing. Plastic cannot be easily decomposed. The accumulation of plastic waste and poor plastic processing which produces toxic air pollution are not easily resolved. A simple idea to utilize this plastic waste is to make plastic into massively produced building materials or panel boards. In the future, these building materials will help solve the problem of the plastic waste accumulation. In addition, they will help decrease air pollution from plastic processing. The process of making panel boards from plastic waste is relatively safe and does not require a lot of energy. The method used in this study is to produce panel boards that can be used as wall materials of 60 cm x 60 cm, in accordance with the module of building materials. This production can accelerate the development process. This test is done to determine the amount of additive materials to produce plastic waste panel boards that can be used as wall building materials.
