Plastic Waste Prevention System Analysis & Application

Abstract

In the post globalization era, India is witnessing significant growth in every sector which is evident by rapid growth in infrastructure developments. The country is building a huge network of expressways, national highways and rural roads and improvement programs involving large investments. But here disposal of non-biodegradable waste materials including waste plastic has become a serious problem. Prevention on it waste plastics of Polyethylene, Polystyrene and Polypropylene are collecting from dump yard or directly from houses. They cleaned and cut into a size such that it passes through 4.75mm IS sieve for maintaining informality of plastic waste partials. Temperature varying between 120˚C - 160˚C gives the softening point of these plastics. They do not produce any toxic gases during heating and this softened plastics have tendency to form a coating over hot aggregates. The plastic waste is effectively coated over the aggregate. Aim of this technique is not only know the effective utilization of plastic waste in the road construction but also to solve the disposal problem of plastic waste to improve the environment and reduce the cost of construction of road.
