1. SUSTAINABLE PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT
IN
HIMACHAL PRADESH
POLICY TO IMPLIMENTATION
2011 & BEYOND..................
A PRESENTATION BY : DR RAKESH KAPOOR
ADDITIONAL SECRETARY ( RPG)

3. Prelude
• State of HP where good governance is not merely
an initiative but a tradition
• The state has received 13 national awards for
various public service initiatives during last five
years
• The history of such initiatives began with land
reforms way back in 1972
• Demand for generation cess on hydro power per
unit @ 2 paisa (1977), Apex court ratified it in
2013.

4. Prelude
• Antyodaya 1977, Antyodaya Anna Yojna and
Annapurna Anna Yojna (1990-94). The fruits of
these initiatives even were reaped in Odisha
(KBK) Districts, MP and Chattisgarh.
• PMGSY (1998), Total Sanitation, ODF
Panchayats, Smoking Free Shimla (2010)
• Paperless Vidhan Sabha (2014)1st in the country
• Initiatives in gestation-Digitized revenue maps
(TATIMA), Digitized Ration Cards & Toll Free
Call Centre based PDS Grievance Redressal

5. Geo Physical Info
• A wholly mountainous region in the lap of
Himalayas,
• It is surrounded by
− Jammu and Kashmir on the north,
− Tibet on north east,
− Uttrakhand on east/south east,
− Haryana on south and
− Punjab on south west/west.

7. Climatic Zones
Three regions: -
(i) The Shivalik ranges
(the height from plains upto 915 metres).
(ii) Colder Zone
(the height upto 4500 metres).
(iii) The Axis and Crystalline core of the whole system
(the height above 4500 metres but below 5500 metres).

8. Plastics Waste:
Environmental Issues and Challenges
• The quantum of solid waste is ever increasing due to
increase in :
• Population,
• Developmental activities,
• Changes in life style, and socio-economic conditions,
• Plastics waste is a significant portion of the total
municipal solid waste (MSW)

9. Approx 10 thousand tons per day (TPD) of plastics waste is generated
i.e. 9% of 1.20 lacs TPD of MSW in the country.
The plastics waste constitutes two major category of plastics;
(i) Thermoplastics and (ii) Thermoset plastics.
Thermoplastics : constitutes 80% and Thermoset constitutes approx
20% of total post-consumer plastics waste generated in India.
 The Thermoplastics are recyclable plastics which include;
 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE),
 Poly Vinyal Choloride(PVC), High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE),
Polypropylene(PP), Polystyrene (PS) etc.
 However, Thermoset plastics contains alkyd, epoxy, ester, melamine
formaldehyde, phenolic formaldehyde, silicon, urea formaldehyde,
polyurethane, metalised and multilayer plastics etc.
Plastics Waste: Environmental
Issues and Challenges CONTD.

10. Birds, fish, animals, die by eating plastic.

11. Plastic Blocks storm water drains & clogs rivers.

12. Plastic needs 450to
start decomposing
years
4 out of 5 bags in India
are plastic.
In Europe only 2.5% of the
plastic bottles used are
recycled
24 million gallons of oil are made
to produce a billion plastic bottles.
USA consumes
150 plastic bottles
per second.& only one
out of 5 bottles is
processed
38 million plastic bottles go
to the dump every year
in the USA.

13. THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZZARDS DUE TO
MISMANAGEMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE IONCLUDES
• ❯ Littered plastics spoils beauty of the city and choke
drains and make important public places filthy.
• ❯ Garbage containing plastics, when burnt may cause air
pollution by emitting polluting gases; 50gm of plastic
waste burning produces air pollution equivalent to
burning of 5tons of normal waste .
• ❯ Garbage mixed with plastics interferes in waste
processing facilities and may also cause problems in
landfill operations.
• ❯ Recycling industries operating in non-conforming areas
are posing unhygienic problems to the environment.
. It takes almost 450 years for plastic to
disintegrate in Nature .... Should we wait till then

14. • To ban the use of plastic carry bags and reduce the
use of plastic items.
• To identify an environment friendly solution for the
disposal of plastic waste.
• To create broad based environmental awareness.
• To create an institutional mechanism for plastic
waste management.
• To deal sustainably with the issue of littering of
plastic waste.

26. The CPCB has undertaken a project in collaboration with Thiagarajar
College of Engineering Madurai to evaluate the performance of polymer
coated built roads laid during 2002-2006 in different cities.
THE TECHNOLGY TESTS PROVED / REVALIDATED by NBRI Roorkee & HP PWD
LABS :
❯ The coating of plastics over aggregate improves Impact, Los Angels
Abrasion and Crushing Value with the increase in the percentage of
plastics.
❯ The extracted bitumen showed almost near value for Marshall stability.
The entire road was having good skid resistance and texture values.
❯ All the stretches in the roads have been found reasonably strong.
❯ The unevenness index values of these roads are nearly 3000 mm/km,
which indicate a good surface evenness.
❯ The PLASTIC TAR ROADS have not developed any potholes, rutting, ravelling
or edge flaw, even though these roads are more than four years of age.
❯ Polymer coated aggregate bitumen mix performs well compared to polymer modified
bitumen mix.
❯ Higher percentage of polymer coating improves the binding strength
of the mix.
❯ Foam plastics have better binding values.

27. content, the resistance to rutting may decrease. Increase in bitumen content not accompanied
by adequate amount of air voids will result in the fall of stability of the mix, the chances of
bleeding will increase. The only way to increase
bitumen content keeping sufficient air voids (VA) is by maximizing VMA and suitably
gradation can be designed.
Heavy duty bituminous pavements are composed of bituminous binder course and wearing
course, for example, Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) and BC [MORT&H 2001], as per
Indian specification. Same grades of bitumen are generally used for construction of these
layers. Generally same grades of bitumen are used for construction of these
layers. Stiffer grade of bitumen has higher value of stiffness, and it causes lesser stains to the
pavement layers and also it is expected to show lesser rutting. On the other hand, higher
fatigue life as observed for bituminous mixes with softer grade of bitumen [Das 1998],
indicates greater longevity of the pavement against fracture. It can be shown computationally
[Das and Pandey 2000, Das 2004] that if a pavement is constructed with softer grade of
bitumen at the lower layer, and harder grade at the top layer, the pavement is expected to last
longer, than a pavement instructed with same grades for both the layers – this technique is
known as rich- bottom pavement construction [Harvey et. Al.1997, onismith 2001] in other
countries.

28. The generation of waste plastics is increasing day by day. The major polymers are namely
polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene show adhesion property in their molten state.
The plastic coated aggregate bitumen mix and plastic modified bitumen forms better
materials for flexible pavement construction as the mixes shows higher Marshall Stability
value and suitable Marshall Coefficient. Hence the use of waste plastics for flexible
pavement is one of the best methods of easy disposal of waste plastics. The use of polymer
coated aggregate is better than the use of polymer modified bitumen in many aspects. The
studies on the thermal behaviour and binding property promoted a study on the
preparation of plastic waste-bitumen blend and its properties to find the suitability of the
blend for road construction.
4.2 Mix Coated Bituminous
MIXING PROCEDURE AT HOT MIX PLANT:
Step I: Plastics waste like bags, bottles made out of PE and PP cut into a size between 2.36
mm and 4.75mm using shredding machine. Care should be taken that PVC waste should be
eliminated before it proceeds into next process.
Step II: The aggregate mix is heated to 1650C and then it is transferred to mixing chamber.
Similarly the bitumen is to be heated up to a maximum of 1600C. This is done so as to obtain
a good binding and to prevent weak bonding. During this process monitoring the temperature
is very important.
Step III: At the mixing chamber, the shredded plastics waste is added over the hot aggregate.
It gets coated uniformlyover the aggregate within 30 to 45 seconds. It gives an oily coated
look to the aggregate.
Step IV: The plastics waste coated aggregate is mixed with hot bitumen. Then this final
resulted mix is used for laying roads. The road laying temperature is between 110oC
120OC. The roller used should be of is 8-ton capacity

29. Step I: Plastic waste made out of PE, PP and PS cut into a size between 2.36mm and 4.75mm

Step II: Similarly the bitumen is to be heated to a maximum of 1600C to have good binding
and to prevent weak
bonding. (Monitoring the temperature is very important)
Step III: At the mixing chamber the shredded plastic waste is to be added to the hot aggregate.
It gets coated uniformly
over the aggregate within 30 Secs, giving an oily look Plastic coated aggregate is obtained.

Volume 2, Issue 4, April 2013 Page 544
Step IV: Hot bitumen is then added over the plastic coated aggregate and the resulting mix is
used for road construction. The road laying temperature is between 1100C to 1200C.
The roller used is 8-ton capacity .
MIXING BY CENTRAL MIXING PLANT (CMP) The dry process can also be carried out
using central mixing plant. The shredded plastic is added along with the aggregate in the
conveyor belt. This is transferred into the hot cylinder. There aggregate is coated with plastic
first and then with the bitumen. The mixer so prepared is then loaded in the dipper lorry and
transported for road laying. CMP helps to have better control of temperature and better
mixing

32. Economic rationale
• In 1 km of road tarring approx. 1 ton of plastic
waste is used which replaces 10% of bitumen.
• Net saving per km to PWD 35,000/-

33. Why Plastic Roads
• Strength increases by 100%.
• Increase in load with standing property.
• Better resistance to withstand rain water and water
stagnation.
• Increased binding and better bonding of mix.
• Less rutting and raveling.
• No/lesser pot holes.
• Reduction of pores in aggregate etc.

34. Consolidation & Sustainability
Stage-II (Dec 09 – Mar 10)
Institutional Mechanism for Procurement of Plastic:
• A win-win scenario for
• Kabaris, Door to Door Collectors, NGOs, Organizations,
Institutions.
• Panchayats, ULBs.
• State PWD and
• Himachal’s environment and ecology.

36. Performance Evaluation of Polymer Coated Bitumen Built
Roads
• CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
• (Ministry of Environment & Forests)
• Parivesh Bhawan, East Arjun Nagar, Delhi-110032 August, 2008 e-mail:
Plastics wastes consisting of mainly polyolefins from items such as carry
bags ,cups, thermocoles and packaging films pose a major problem for their
disposal . In this study, the plastics wastes were shredded into small size, i.e
2 mm to 4 mm, molten and thereafter coated over hot aggregate at 1600C.
Several roads have been built in this manner in the State of Tamil Nadu,
Puducherry, Maharashtra, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh using polymer-coated–
bitumen aggregate. CPCB has sponsored this study in association with
Thigarajar College of Engineering, Madurai on “Performance Study of Built
Roads” as per the parameters suggested by Central Road Research Institute
(CRRI) and Indian Road Congress (IRC). New Delhi. The parameters suggested
were roughness survey, skid resistance, sand patch test, Benkelman beam
deflection, cracking, raveling, potholes and edge breaks.
