The document discusses using shredded plastic waste in the construction of rural roads. Specific plastics like films, foams, and laminated materials below 60 microns can be shredded and mixed with heated aggregates and bitumen to form the road surface. The process coats the aggregates with plastic waste using minimal machinery. It provides an eco-friendly way to reuse plastic waste and reduce use of bitumen in road construction.

4. • As a Plastic Roads• As a Plastic Roads

5. The following types of waste plastic can be used
in the construction of the rural roads:
• Films(carry bags and cups) thickness up to 60
micron(PE,PP,&PS)
• Hard foams (PS) any thickness
• soft foams (PS & PP) any thickness
• Laminated plastics thickness up to 60 micron
(Aluminium coated also) packing materials used
for biscuits ,chocolates,etc .,
• Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets or Flux sheets
should not be used in any case.

7. Shredding machine – Cutting to required
size Plastic waste- Cleaning process -Plastics
waste (bags, cups, thermocole) made out of
PE,PP and PS cut into a size between 2.36mm
and 4.75mm using shredding machine ,(PVC
waste should be eliminated).

9. • Step 2(A)
• Step 2(B)

10. • Aggregate is transferred to chamber –
Aggregate heated - The aggregates mix is
heated upto a maximum of 165 degree
celcious (as per the HRS specification) and
transferred to mixing chamber.
• Similarly the bitumen is to be heated upto a
maximum of 160 degree celcious (HRS
specification) to have a good binding and to
preovent weak bonding .(Monitoring the
temperature is very important).

12. • Coated aggregates waste plastics mixed
with hot aggregate . At the mixing
chamber ,the shredded plastics waste is
to be added. It get coated uniformly
over the aggregate within 30 – 60
seconds , giving an oily look.

14. • Road Laying Process Aggregates –
The plastic bitumen mix bitumen added.
The plastic waste coated aggregate is mixed
with got bitumen and the resulted mix is used
for road construction . The road laying
temperature is between 110 degree celcious
to 120 degree celcious . The roller used is 8 -
ton capacity .

19. • Easy process without any new machinery.
• Simple process without any industry
involvement.
• In situ process.
• Use of lesser % of bitumen and thus savings
on bitumen resource.
• Use of plastics waste for a safe and echo-
friendly process.

20. • Both Mini Hot Mix Plant and Central Mixing
Plant can be used.
• Only aggregate is polymer coated and
bitumen is not modified.
• Use of 60/70 and 80/90 bitumen is possible.
• No evolution of any toxic gases like dioxin.
• Fly ash can also be used to give a better
performance

21. Introduction to waste to energy plant
(solapur plant)

23. • Many things can be reused before you throw
them out.
• Use coffee cans and cottage cheese containers
for storage
• Use backs of paper or backs of used envelopes
for jotting notes
• Put leftovers in resalable containers instead of
using wraps and foil
• Use old clothes as rags for cleaning instead of
paper towels
• Have a garage sale or donate clothes, books or
toys that you don't use anymore

24. • Each year we use:
•25 billion plastic containers
•100 billion pounds of paper
•30 billion bottles & jars
•65 billion aluminum cans
