The waste composition in Las Piņas City consists of 55% biodegradable material, 33% recyclable material, and 12% residual waste, necessitating effective waste management strategies. This capstone project focuses on redeveloping a plan to produce Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Reinforced Concrete Paving Blocks for Camella Homes IV-A Park. A key objective of this study is to educate the community about repurposing PET waste through a seminar, promoting sustainable waste management practices. The production of concrete paving blocks adhered to ASTM C902 standards. Among the various mix proportions tested, Mix 3 (M3) with 0.5% PET content demonstrated superior compressive strength and was utilized for mass production. These paving blocks were subsequently installed in the designated area of the park. Community engagement was further encouraged through workshops on waste management and the creation of paving blocks. The results highlight the potential for sustainable practices, waste reduction, and active community involvement. Future research directions include expanding PET recycling initiatives on a larger scale.
