The Plastic Road concept using Waste Plastic

Constructing a road would take days instead of months, and roads would last three times as long.

Plastic Wastes used in process:

The following types of waste plastic can be used in the construction of rural roads:

• Films ( Carry Bags, Cups) thickness up to 60micron (PE, PP and PS)
• Hard foams (PS) any thickness
• Soft Foams (PE and PP) any thickness.
• Laminated Plastics thickness up to 60 micron (Aluminum coated also) packing materials used for biscuits, chocolates, etc.,
• Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets or Flux sheets should not be used in any case.

Characteristics of the process:

• Easy process without any new machinery
• Simple process without any industry involvement
• In situ process
• Use of lesser % of bitumen and thus savings on bitumen resource
• Use of plastics waste for a safe and eco-friendly process
• Both Mini Hot Mix Pland and Central Mixing Plant can be used
• Only aggregate is polymer coated and bitumen is not modified
• Use of 60/70 and 80/90 bitumen is possible
• No evolution of any toxic gases like dioxin
• Fly ash can also be used to give a better performance
