摘要：The use of plastic and related materials is increasing exponentially due to tremendous growth in population,urbanization and changed life style leads to widespread littering of plastic on the landscape. Disposal of wasteplastic is a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradability and hazardous to human health, since these arenot disposed scientifically and thus, creates ground and water pollution. If this curse to mankind in the form of wasteplastic is used as a boon for mankind by using it as additives in road construction, it will proved to be a best solutionover worst road condition. In the present paper techniques has been developed to use plastic waste for construction ofbituminous roads and flexible pavements. In general bitumen is used as binder in road construction. Binding propertiesof this bitumen can be modified by blending it with waste plastic pieces. It can be used for construction purpose. Wasteplastic coated road aggregates can improve road strength. This modified bitumen mix and aggregates show better bindingproperty, stability, density and more resistant to water thus increasing durability of roads with increased resistanceto wear and tear of road.
