PROJECT Concrete weight plates manufactured from fly ash and textile waste, as well as textile waste sludge, are part of the proposed project. To increase the endurance of the concrete, it is coated with recycled plastic. The present fast fashion trend has resulted in vast quantities of apparel being created and then discarded, resulting in an increase in textile waste. According to the Australian Government [2,] Australia is the second greatest producer of textile waste, with each individual producing on average 23kg of textile waste that is disposed of each year. Synthetic materials, such as nylon and polyester, which account for a major fraction of these overall wastes, are plastic derivatives that take a long time to breakdown. As a result, textile waste accumulates in landfills, negatively impacting the ecosystem. Another by-product of modern demands is fly ash, which is produced by the combustion of coal to meet energy demands. The environment benefits from the removal of wastes as well as the decrease of raw resources necessary to make weight plates, such as sand, gravel, and iron, by using these items that would otherwise be waste. Weight plates are currently composed of concrete or cast iron and then covered in either plastic or rubber. Cast iron plates are more expensive than concrete plates because of material expenses, but they last longer. In this instance, the consumer has no other options and must choose between these two unsustainable possibilities. Weight plates with only the coating produced from recycled plastic or rubber are the closest choice to recycled plates,' as they are constructed from recycled plastic or rubber. The goal of the invention is to extend the life of present concrete-based weights by employing recycled materials. At specific ratios of fabric waste, using textile sludge waste and fly ash in the concrete mixture can generate material with a similar density to regular concrete but a higher compressive strength [1]. One of the most significant disadvantages of concrete is its brittleness, which is frequently reduced in industry by reinforcing it. A study indicated that reinforcing concrete with textile trimmings has a comparable impact in terms of lowering brittleness [4]. By encasing the resulting polymer concrete in recycled plastic, the weights' resilience and lifespan can be increased, potentially leading to superior concrete weights. To provide a longer product lifespan, the product will require determining the optimal ratio of elements in the concrete mixture. End-of-life textiles must be shredded before being mixed with fly ash, textile waste sludge, sand, and Portland cement. The concrete mixture will be cast and allowed to air dry before being encased with recyclable plastics if it proves advantageous. When making polymer concrete, the density must also be taken into account to ensure that the weights are not excessive.
