        abstract = {Urbanization and rapid infrastructure development have significantly altered natural hydrological cycles by increasing impervious surfaces, reducing infiltration, and escalating flood risks. Conventional concrete pavements hinder natural water percolation, leading to surface runoff and groundwater depletion. Permeable concrete presents an eco-sustainable alternative that combines strength, durability, and high porosity, enabling stormwater infiltration. This study focuses on developing permeable concrete blocks utilizing recycled plastic waste and waste concrete aggregates as partial replacements for natural coarse aggregates. The project explores the mechanical, physical, and hydraulic properties of the designed mixes to determine an optimal proportion that ensures sufficient compressive strength and permeability. The research also addresses waste management challenges, contributing to circular economy principles, low-carbon construction, and green infrastructure. The expected results will demonstrate that up to 20–25% replacement of coarse aggregates by recycled plastic and waste concrete can produce functional permeable blocks suitable for pavements and walkways, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable construction practices.},
