The growing consumption of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic and the disposal of used oil have become serious environmental challenges. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of using PET plastic waste and used oil in improving the quality and durability of pore blocks. The research method used is a laboratory experiment with four mixture variations: Sample A (20% plastic), B (25% plastic), C (30% plastic), and D (control 0% plastic). The parameters tested include compressive strength, water absorption, and wear resistance according to SNI 03-0691-1998. The results showed that Sample D had the highest compressive strength (31.6 MPa), but Sample A (18.2 MPa) provided an optimal balance between waste utilization and structural performance for parking areas. Sample B showed the best wear resistance (0.025 mm/min).
