This study entitled "Shredded Plastic Bottles as an Alternative Filling Materials in Making Ceramic Tiles" was conducted at Cavite State University- Rosario Campus with the following objectives (1) Determine the significant difference between treatments in terms of durability, texture, odor and color.

RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) was used in the study with two treatments and two replications. These were: To (commercial ceramic tile), Ti (100g) shredded plastic bottles, 35g pure sand and 50g wood glue), and T2 (100g shredded plastic bottles, 35g white cement and 50g wood glue). Based on the result, ANOVA table showed that there is a significant difference among treatments in terms of durability. texture, odor and color.
Fifty (50) plastic bottles were rinsed thoroughly and then dried. Then, the bottles were shredded to a finer texture.

One hundred (100) grams of shredded plastic bottles were then mixed with the binder of different quantity. Two kinds of binders were used; white cement and pure sand. The mixture was thoroughly mixed by the hand using rubber gloves for about 10 minutes, then placed in molding boards (with oil) and dried for four (4) days.

Based on the findings of the study, ANOVA table showed that there is a significant difference between treatments in terms of durability, texture, odor and color. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected.

Moreover, it was concluded that TiRi has the highest average of mean in terms of durability and color, followed by TiR2 in terms of odor and lastly T2R+ in terms of texture
