Waste Plastic: Future Pavements

Bitumen is used in binding course and surface course. It can be successfully replaced from waste plastic by 10% by weight of bitumen. It enhances the characteristics of bitumen by improving its engineering properties. By doing so we can save huge sums of the nation in construction (per kilometer of pavement stretch). This is an innovative approach to dispose of highly pollutant material, waste plastic, in most beneficial and ecological way, which not only results in improved pavement material in surface courses but also, in making it economical and durable. It also helps in keeping environment healthy and clean.
