THE APPLICATION OF WASTE PLASTICS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

 Disposal of plastic waste in the environment is considered to be a big problem because it is very low in biodegradability and its presence is large. Chocolate,chocolate,chips,handbags,cold drink bottles and other plastic packaging can cause major environmental and economic problems. They consume a lot of energy and other natural resources and exhaust the environment in various ways. In recent years,the use of industrial waste to replace a part of conventional concrete aggregate is being studied. Most of Indian plastic recycling occurred. Up to 60% of industrial and municipal plastic waste is recycled and available from various sources. The Indians release large quantities of plastic waste with enormous economic value. Therefore,the recycling of plastic waste plays an important role in job creation. The "Maale" village located in the Pune district proposes a 2.8 kilometer road suggestion to use the asphalt blend. Building asphalt mixed plastic roads in the village can reduce the plastic waste generated i n the village. The adhesion properties of bitumen can be changed by mixing with plastic waste. It can be used for building purposes. In this paper,we propose construction of asphalt mixed plastic roads addressing the problem of non - biodegradable waste in Pune's "MAALE" village
