Bakelite is difficult to dispose of and harmful to the environment and the general public's health due to its plastic makeup. In an effort to address this kind of issue, numerous scholars have been working to transform salvage Bakelite into a useful building material. In addition to creating challenging jobs, the utilisation of waste plastic in the construction sector improves the functionality of building materials. In this study, discarded Bakelite is used as a partial substitute for coarse aggregate in the construction sector. Its properties, durability, and assimilation into different types of building materials are discussed. Paver Blocks and Solid Blocks were made out of waste bakelite, and several tests were conducted to determine how strong and durable they were in contrast to other building materials. The test results showed that Paver block replacement can achieve an ideal compressive strength of 8% and solid block replacement with waste bakelite may attain a compressive strength of 35%. As a result, recycling unused bakelite will aid in waste management and give the construction industry access to a beneficial resource.
