 ABSTRACT
Plastic waste is one such resource, a major component of solid waste
which is abundantly available and disposed of without proper treatment. There
has been an exponential growth in municipal plastic waste disposal especially
in urban areas which deteriorates the beauty of the landscape. Plastic was
found to be an effective binder for bitumen mixes used in flexible pavements.
This efficient method helps the pavements to resist higher temperature by
minimizing the formation of cracks and reducing rainwater infiltration which
otherwise leads to the development of potholes. These pavements have shown
improved crushing and abrasion values and reduced water seepage. Plastic
roads would be a boon for India’s hot and extremely humid climate where
temperatures frequently cross 50°C and torrential rains create havoc, leaving
most of the roads with big potholes. Bituminous Concrete (BC) is a composite
material mostly used in construction projects like road surfacing, airports,
parking lots etc. It consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral
aggregate which is mixed together & laid down in layers then compacted. Now
a day, the steady increment in high traffic intensity in terms of commercial
vehicles, and the significant variation in daily and seasonal temperature put us
in a demanding situation to think of some alternatives for the improvisation of
the pavement characteristics and quality by applying some necessary
modifications which shall satisfy both the strength as well as economic aspects.
Also considering the environmental approach, due to excessive use of
Polythene’s in the day- to -day business, the pollution to the environment is
enormous. Since the polythene’s are not biodegradable, the need of the current
hour is to use the waste polyethene in some beneficial purposes.
