Abstract :-Nowadays, a requirement of fast construction technology and modular construction is the future of the construction industry. In India, the population below the poverty line was 21.9% due to this total housing shortage of 24.71 million dwelling units for 67.4 million households, where 98% of this shortage was in the low income and economically weaker sections (EWS) segment. Further, a need for warehouses to store agricultural products and 40% of agriculture products get waste due to a lack of proper handling and storage infrastructure.  As we all know, plastic is a big enemy of the environment. Further CO₂ production during the manufacturing of cement is a major challenge for the environment. The study stated that one tonne of cement produces 1.25tonnes of CO₂.After considering all these problems for reducing pollution and fast construction, we propose using gypsum and recycled plastic to produce ideal sized modular unit and check its strength and economy criteria.
