Use of waste plastic coated aggregates in bituminous road construction

Now a days, the population growth, industrialization, consumerism and technological development have led to uncontrollable accumulation of waste. Proper waste disposal is of great importance in both rural and urban areas. Many of the wastes produced today will remain in the environment for many years leading to various environmental concerns. Therefore it is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Use of this waste mix for road construction helps to use plastics waste. Once the plastic waste is separated from municipal solid waste, the organic matter can be converted into manure and used. This paper deals with the investigations of the use of waste plastic for coating of aggregates in the bituminous road construction. This paper presents the use of plastic which is collected from municipal solid waste for coating aggregates in bituminous road construction. Marshall properties, impact values, specific gravity, abrasion test, water absorption, soundness and stripping value of the waste plastic coated aggregates were determined.
