摘要：Nylon waste is an unspoken threat to the environment and its dumping leads to harmful effects on the environment, since waste nylon has low biodegradability. The research is aimed at recycling wastes Nylon as binding groundmass in place of cement in the production of interlocks. This will go a long way in solve part of our environmental and ecological problems resulting from haphazard dumping of waste Nylon, In this study, melted waste nylon and sand was used as a binding agent in complete substitute of cement with sharp sand in interlocks production. Test on compressive strength and Abrasion Resistance were carried out on two different types of interlocks (waste nylon and sand interlock) ratio 3:7 was used for waste Nylon and sand interlock. The result shows that, the interlocks produced with waste Nylon and sand has higher compressive strength (stronger) than that of concrete and abrasion Resistance. Base on the test, results, of findings and conclusion, the following recommendations were made: Government should invest in using waste nylon to produce interlocks and create more awareness of this innovation to the community; this could serve as waste decrease and employment chance. The study has clearly established that waste Nylon interlocks are better alternative to normal concrete interlocks.
