In this work, the non recyclable plastics are to be used as reinforcement with resins as a matrix. This composite uses the waste plastics to be converted into useful products that can replace asbestos and metal sheets used for roofing applications. By this the life of the waste plastics is extended as a useful product on earth and the consumption of metals and asbestos can be reduced. Also this can be a good solution for converting waste plastics into useful products without any toxic emissions and green house gases which are the main sources of air pollution. The plastic wastes are collected and made into a composite using polyester resin. After curing, the composite is subjected to various characterization studies such as percentage light intensity, temperature and relative humidity and found that it performs well under the climatic conditions and proves that it can be an alternate for roofing materials such as asbestos and metal sheets. These characterization studies are carried out through an Arduino processor which is connected with various sensors and a computer to interpret the results [1][2]. It also shows better characteristics than the traditionally used roofing materials such as asbestos and metal sheets and proves to be low cost composite for this application.

Keywords- Toxic emissions; green house gases; percentage light intensity; arduino processor; sensors.
