Abstract

Disposal of waste plastic is a major problem. It is non biodegradable & It mainly consists of low-density polyethylene. Burning of these waste plastic bags causes environmental pollution. To finds its utility in bituminous mixes for road construction, Laboratory performance studies were conducted on bituminous mixes. Laboratory studies proved that waste plastic enhances the property of the mix. Improvement in properties of bituminous mix provides the solution for disposal in an useful way. Plastic roads mainly use plastic carry bags, disposable cups and bottles that are collected from garbage dumps as an important ingredient of the construction material. When mixed with hot bitumen, plastics melt to form an oily coat over the aggregate and the mixture is laid on the road surface like the normal tar road.
