Abstract: In recent years, concrete is widely used in the construction field, the materials used in the production of concrete are cement, sand and gravel, its mean increasing consumption of the natural resources and this is one of the most important reasons emersion for the concept of sustainability in the production of concrete. The aim of this study is the keeping of natural source and providing alternatives for fine aggregate and coarse aggregate by using different types of plastic waste. The three types of recycling plastic waste were used in this studying, type A (flaky) minced was partially replaced for coarse aggregate with the ratio (2.5, 5, 7.5%), two types B and C of granules minced were partially replaced for fine aggregate with the ratio (2.5, 5, 7.5%), results indicated that the compressive strength decreasing with increasing the plastic waste for type A (flaky) and type B. The compressive strength of type C decreasing 26% with the ratio 2.5 and 12% with the ratio 7.5%.
