Plastic roads offer advantages over traditional asphalt roads. Plastic waste is shredded and mixed with bitumen to form a material that is more water resistant than traditional mixes. This allows plastic roads to last longer without cracks forming. Construction involves heating plastic waste and bitumen then mixing them to form an oil-like substance added to aggregate and laid like traditional roads. Using plastic waste in roads provides a way to reduce plastic disposal problems while saving money on road construction and maintenance over time.

3. INTRODUCTION TO PLASTIC
ROADS
.Plastics the world’s most and perhaps its major invention in
terms of creating a light weight,low cost maneuvering
substance.
. But one of the major setback that plastic industry have
always been jolted with is its of property of being non
biodegradable.
MAJOR IDEA:: USE ITS PROPERTY OF
NON BIODEGRADABILITY+WATER
REPELLANT PROPERTY=GREEN
EARTH

4. CONCEPT OF PLASTIC ROADS
 Ever thought why does roads have huge cracks or
holes formed after maybe six months of its
creation? Its because of India’s heavy monsoon
seasons.
 This is where plastic roads come into play
 The basic idea behind this whole process is that if
can use the water repellant property of plastics the
roads can last up to six or seven years.
 So basically it means if you have plastic
waste in your house hold it can be used to
make a good quality of road and eventually

5. MATERIALS
USED::1.AGGREGATE::
(a) 10 mm of filler material
(b) filler is stone dust &
lime
2.BITUMEN::
(a) a glue type of material
which is used for binding in
asphalt concrete road
3.WASTE PLASTIC::
(a) plastic waste in
shredded form(pvc is not
used)

6. CONSTRUCTION OF PLASTIC ROADS
STEP 1::
plastic waste (bags,cups,bottles)made of
PE,PP etc cut into 2.66mm size by
shredding machine which is heated to165C
STEP2::
now bitumen, a petroleum waste product is
heated to160C to have good binding and
prevent weak bonding.

7.  STEP3::
At the mixing chamber the shredded plastic is
mixed with bitumen and within 30 sec it gives an oily look.
. STEP4::
This resultant mix is now used for road
construction. The road laying temperature
is 100C-110C and rollers are used of
8 tonne capacity.

9. CASE STUDY::AHMED KHAN
.A plastic sack manufacturer,Ahmed khan
realized that plastic waste was a great
problem.His company manufactured
polyblend which when used with bitumen
enhanced its properties.
He along with RV college of eng.
Bangalore laid 40kms of water repelling
road in Bangalore.
Thus all the plastic waste generated from
municipal,hospitals have been completely
wiped off.

10. ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC
ROADS
 Better resistance towards rain water and water
stagnation
 Reduction in pores in aggregate, thus less cracks for
water to seep in.
 Cost of construction of roads decreased by Rs5000 per
km
 Ultimate advantage is that disposal of plastic waste
will not be a problem

13. CONCLUSION
 Overall the plastic road project is a great potential step
towards sustainable development where we think if this
idea is carried out on a large scale has tremendrous effect to
save our mother nature from the choke of plastics without
us limiting the use of plastics in our daily needs.But it
doesn’t mean to just use plastics blindly.

NATURE”
