PET waste was utilized in varying quantities (30 %, 50%, 70%, 90%, and 100 %) of sand, fly ash, and POFA by weight. The evaluation of the mechanical and physical characteristics of the materials demonstrated that the tiles with a 30% PET content performed better in terms of material density, strength properties, flame resistance, and thermal stability than others. The maximum compressive strength values of 19.71, 6.88, and 8.37 MPa were found in the polymer tiles made of sand, fly ash, and POFA respectively, in this study, the highest compressive strength was greater than the control sample.
