This document discusses plastic waste management and the use of plastic waste in road construction. It outlines the basic processes for plastic waste management, which include segregation, cleaning, shredding, and collection. It then discusses the characterization and binding properties of waste plastics. The document notes that using plastic waste in road construction can reduce the need for bitumen by 10% and increase road strength and performance while reducing costs. However, it also outlines disadvantages such as potential toxins leaching during the cleaning process and noxious gas releases during road laying. In conclusion, the document states that plastic roads could improve road durability and the environment while being suitable for India's climate.

2. INTRODUCTION
plastic waste is hazard to the environment.
plastic waste can be used in construction of
flexible pavement.

3. BASIC PROCESSES FOR PLASTIC
WASTE MANAGEMENT
1. Segregation
2. Cleaning process
3. Shredding process
4. Collection process

4. 1. Segregation
plastic waste collected from various
sources must be separated from other
waste.
Maximum thickness of 60 microns.

5. 2. cleaning process
Plastic waste get cleaned and dried.

6. 3.shredding process
will be shredded or cut into small piece.
the different types of plastic wastes are mixed together.

7. 4. Collection process
the plastic waste retaining in 2.36 mm is
collected.

8. CHARACTERISATION
OF WASTE PLASTICS
1. Binding property Plastic is a good binder.

9. 2. THERMAL STUDY

10. USE OF
PLASTIC WASTE
IN
ROAD CONSTUCTION

11. ADVANTAGES OF
PLASTIC ROAD
• Use higher percentage of plastic waste.
• Reduce the need of bitumen by around 10%.
• Increase the strength and performance of the road and
Reduces the cost .
• Improvement in fatigue life of roads.
• Better resistance towards rain water and cold weather.

12. DISADVANTAGES OF
PLASTIC ROADS
Cleaning process : Toxins present in the
co-mingled plastic waste would start
leaching.
During the road laying process : the
presence of chlorine will definitely release
noxious HCL gas.

13. CONCLUSION
This innovative technology not only strengthens the
road construction but also increases the road life .
Help to improve the environment .
plastic road would be a boon for India’s hot and
extremely humid climate where durable and eco-
friendly roads are in demand.
