The use of clayey soil in subgrade construction is limited due to its tendency to swell and shrink, making it unsuitable for building. To overcome this, mechanical or chemical stabilization techniques are required. Furthermore, improper disposal of plastic waste is a significant environmental concern. To promote sustainable development, an experiment was conducted to stabilize clayey soil using powdered LDPE plastic waste. Varying amounts of LDPE waste powder were added to the soil, and the results showed that adding 4% LDPE waste powder significantly increased the soil's strength. Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between the LDPE powder proportion, maximum dry unit weight, ideal moisture content, and unconfined compressive strength of the soil. The soil sample made from plastic waste outperformed the traditional soil sample. This suggests that mixing plastic waste with clayey soil can be an effective way to improve soil quality and the amount of plastic waste can be reduced through proper disposal.
