Currently, construction manufacturing units need an abundant number of non-renewable resources rising in the quarrying of natural strata, producing a disparity in our precious environment. Besides this, a plentiful amount of waste material like plastic waste in several forms such as solid, filler, etc., is generated gradually. Therefore, efficient sustainable disposal seemed like a threatening mission across the world. To mitigate the issue, in the present investigation, fine aggregate (sand) was partially replaced with polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste in the manufacturing of cement mortar mixes. An experimental program evaluating the replacement of 0 to 20% (at an interval of 5%) of sand with polyethylene terephthalate in various sizes and proportions [1mm (68%), 2mm (22%), 3mm (6%), and 4mm (4%)] was developed. Slump flow, compressive and flexural strength, 2 and fire resistance tests were performed to access fresh, mechanical, and durability parameters of blended lean mortar mixes. Mathematical simulations and regression analysis approach also substantiated enhancements and validated through polyethylene terephthalate-based mixes over control mortar mixes. Additionally, microstructural analysis using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques of the internal mechanism for cement mortar mixes including polyethylene terephthalate was performed. The consequence exposed enhanced parameters at lower substitution and attributed to the masonry work.
