Waste management in Indonesia is still very undirected and we are still looking for the right solution regarding alternative solutions. One alternative solution for waste management is to manage the waste by turning it into useful items that have selling value. The alternative solution offered is to make brick products made from diapers and plastic packaging waste. This research aims to make 2 products with different compositions, then carry out composition test specimens and test the two brick products through compressive strength tests in the laboratory. After carrying out the process of making bricks with different compositions, a comparative study can be carried out using the One Way ANOVA method and the F count or Critical F result is 4.00687, so F count ≥ F table means that H1 is accepted (Composition A has a significant difference between Composition B). Composition A has a compressive strength test result for concrete bricks that is in accordance with SNI-15-2094-2000, namely 50 Kg/Cm2.
