Abstract

Waste plastic can be converted into rock for decorative and utilitarian applications. A combination of sand and waste plastic is added into a tumbling chamber, and the tumbling chamber is rotated. The combination of sand and waste plastic is heated while rotating the tumbling chamber, and when the combination of sand and waste plastic reaches a predetermined temperature, a mixture of glass and a carbon-based material is added. Conglomerates begin to form with increasing temperatures, and when a desired size of the conglomerates is achieved, heating is discontinued. A slurry coating is added to the tumbling chamber while continuing to rotate the tumbling chamber.
