• APPRX . COST = Rs. 10, 000

• PORTABLE

• TIME OF CONSTRUCTION = 4 hrs

• LONG DURABILITY

• For Concrete Toilet Approx. Cost – Rs.

 Our Perspective
i.e., as India is decided to Construct 2 crore Toilets, if the Waste Plastic Needed (Based on our technology)
toilets are constructed using this “Plastone Blocks” i assure 1. For Plastic Tar Roads 10 Million Tons
it will Create a Demand in Waste Plastic (2.5 Million Tons for
Rural Road Only)
To Build 1 Plastone Toilet we need 500 kg of waste plastic
i.e., 2. Paver Blocks (Path 2.2 Million Tons
1 Toilet = .5 Tons of Waste Plastic way Blocks – (if for Total Roads in
20000000 Toilet = .5 * 2,00,00,000 Highways - 1 lakh India – 41 Lakhs KM then
____________________________________________ KM Only) required is 90 Million
Width: 1m (both Tons)
Required Plastic = 10 Million Tons of Waste Plastic side)
____________________________________________ Height: 1 Inch

 Further Development
1. Scrap Using Cold Mix Process
2. Polymer Modified Bitumen
• Cold Process
• Road for Cold Region
3. Raw Material for Road laying
– Plastic Coated Aggregate

– BITUMEN – 50% SAVED

– AGGREGATE – 50% SAVED

– COST – 50% SAVED

– DISPOSAL OF SCRAP IN AN ECOFRIENDLY WAY

– USE OF SCRAP FOR LAYING RURAL ROADS

– BETTER TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES FOR RURAL AREAS

– LIFE OF THE ROAD IS ALSO INCREASED
