INTRODUCTION
plastic waste - hazard to the environment. plastics waste - construction of flexible pavement.
22
What is plastic??
A material that contains one or more organic polymers of large molecular weight, solid in its finished state and at some state while manufacturing or processing into finished articles, can be shaped by its flow.
Types of plastics
1.Thermosets. 2.Elastomers. 3.Thermoplastics.
33
NATURAL RESINS
1. 2. 3. 4.
solids or semi solid materials light yellow to darkbrown in colour carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. globules on the bark .
44
SYNTHETIC RESINS
1. 2. 3.
derived primarily from petroleum. polystyrene, polyesters and acrylics used in the manufacture of varnishes, plastics, adhesives and rubber.
55
2. 3. 4. 5.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET,PETE) Density polyethylene(HDPE) Vinyl(Poly vinyl chloride or PVC) Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE) Polypropylene(PP)

BASIC PROCESSES
1. 2. 3. 4.
77
1.SEGREGATION
plastic waste collected from various sources must be separated from other waste. Maximum thickness of 60 microns.
88
2 cleaning process
cleaning process
99
3 Shredding process
will be shredded or cut into small piece. the different types of plastic wastes are mixed together

4 Collection process
collected plastic

FIELD TRIALS
There are two type of field trials 1.Dry process 2.Wet process
1212
1.DRY PROCESS
1313
Heated aggregates
1414
1515
2.Wet Process
Waste plastics by direct mixing with hot bitumen at 160C Mechanical stirrer is needed Addition of stabilizers and proper cooling. Since the wet process require a lot of investment and bigger plants Not commonly used..

BINDING PROPERTY
1717
2 Thermal study
Thermal study
1818
that the use of higher percentage of plastics in polymer modified bitumen is not favorable.
1919
plastics improves aggregate impact value. helps to improve the quality of flexible pavement
2.Los Angels Abrasion Test wear and tear values of plastic coated aggregate is found to be decreasing the percentage of plastics (Eg.37% without plastic, 32% with 1%
plastic and 29% with 2% plastic)
3.Soundness Test
The plastic coated aggregate, did not show any weight loss, improvement in the quality of the aggregate.
2121
Use higher percentage of plastic waste. Reduce the need of bitumen by around 10%. Increase the strength and performance of the road. Reduce the cost to around Rs. 5000/Km. of single lane road. Generate jobs for rag pickers. Develop a technology, which is ecofriendly.
2222
Toxics present in the co-mingled plastic waste would d start leaching. But the presence of chlorine will definitely release noxious HCL gas.
2323
The components of the road, once it has been laid, are not inert. It is opined that the first rain will trigger leaching. As the plastics will merely form a sticky layer, (mechanical abrasion). once the road is started to be used will cause the release of fine polymer particles. When air-borne, these will cause a particulate problem.
2424
CONCLUSION
Plastic will increase the melting point of the bitumen use of the innovative technology not only strengthened the road construction but also increased the road life Help to improve the environment . plastic road would be a boon for Indias hot and extremely humid climate where durable and eco-friendly roads which will relive the earth from all type of plastic waste
