USE OF PLASTIC WASTE IN FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

Abstract

Abstract: The waste materials is always a problem for the environment, some waste may be disposed easily some cannot. Plastic is also a kind of material whose disposal is always a tedious job. The disposal of waste effected the environment drastically, for minimizing this effect several research in various field is going on to recycle plastic safely. One of its ways is to use the waste plastics in road construction. Plastic road is a need of an hour as they not only consume waste plastic in an eco-friendly way ,but also helpful in increasing the quality of the road. In this review paper we will thoroughly study some of the methods and technique through which plastic is used in the road construction and how these technologies suits in various conditions.Significant environmental and economic problem are created because all forms of plastic like carry bags, wrappers, chocolates, chips, hand bags, cold drink bottles and lids of all bottles. Utilization of waste plastic bags in bituminous mixes has proved that these enhance the properties of mix in addition to solving disposal problems. The processed wasteplastic, when added to hot aggregate will form a fine coat of plastic over the aggregate and such aggregate, when mixed with the binder is found to give higher strength, higher resistance to water and better performance over a period of time. Therefore, Plastic roads, is a simple way to make eco-friendly constructions. The innovative technology not only strengthened the road construction but also increased the road life as well as will help to improve the environment. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the significance of plastic in terms of innovative methodology for treatment and disposing and to provide solution to reduce, recycle, reuse by applying it for pavement and road construction.Keywords: - Aggregate, Bitumen, Plastic Waste Material.
