Plastic roads are roads made either entirely of plastic or of composites of plastic with other materials. Plastic roads are different from standard roads in the respect that standard roads are made from asphalt concrete, which consists of mineral aggregates and asphalt. Currently, there are no records of regular roads made purely of plastic

6.  Simple process, no new
machinery is required
 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
eco-friendly, no toxic gas
evaluation.
 Reduced penetration and ductility,
a higher softening point, resist
the permeation of water and cold
cracking.

7.  Cleaning process
Toxics present in the co-mingled
plastic waste would start leaching.
 During the road laying process
In the presence of chlorine will
definitely release noxious HCL gas.
 After the road laying
The components of the road, once it
has been laid, are not inert.

8.  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
(eco- friendly).
 Plastic road would be a boon for
India’s hot and extremely humid
climate where durable and eco-
friendly roads which will relive the
earth from all type of plastic waste.
