Population Urbanization

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 waste plastic is a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradability and hazardous to human healths, since these are not disposed scientifically and thus, create ground and water. If this curse to mankind in the form of waste plastic is used as a boon for mankind by using it as additives in road construction, it will proved to be a best solution over worst road condition. In the present paper techniques has been developed to use plastic waste for construction of bituminous roads and flexible pavements. In general bitumen is used as binder in road construction. Binding properties of this bitumen can be modified by blending it with waste plastic pieces. It can be used for construction purpose.

This examination researches the appropriateness of waste materials i.e., sawdust and rice husk as a filler materials in bitumen. The waste materials (Rice husk and Saw dust) were tried to decide its appropriateness in the bitumen asphalt. The suggestions are surmised upon the Marshall and volumetric properties. Reuse of waste item is perfect to lessen contamination, since transfer is diminished or dispensed with. In this examination, Rice husk and saw residue waste was ground utilizing a pounding ball to shape a fine powder. It was then sieved in 300µm. At the research center, Rice husk and saw residue were blended in with bitumen to supplant 5%, 10%, and 15% of the all the weight ,while 0% addressed the control test. The Penetration test, Softening Point test, Flash and Fire Point test, Viscosity test, Ductility test and Marshall Stability test were looked into in this examination on the mix degree on bitumen in with rice husk and saw dust. Rice husk and Sawdust were incorporated into bitumen and perfect rate is gotten the chance to improve the presentation of bitumen.

The measure of plastic in the solid waste generated is increasing due to increase in factors such as urbanization, various development activities and changes in life style of humans which is leading to an unrestricted scattering on the landscape. Thus the disposal of these waste plastic has become a severe issue globally due to their non-biodegradability nature. Another area of concern is the deteriorating quality of roads due to the increase in traffic and their lower resistant’s to withstand adverse climatic conditions. Studies are being carried out to develop suitable alternatives for providing good, conventional road constructional materials for providing eco-friendly roads which have good design life. In this work, autoclaved medical plastic waste in the form of shredded syringes used in road construction is tested. The main objective of this work is to study how to use shredded Biomedical Plastic waste (BMPW) in Bituminous Mix and to compare the performance of the aggregate and bitumen when modified with bio-medical plastic waste. The results from the case studies showed improved properties for Plastic Coated Aggregate when compared to normal aggregates. There by showing that by using biomedical waste in bituminous road construction could bitterly change the quality of road and also the design life of bituminous roads by improving their properties.

The Cost

The major threat to the environment is the disposal of waste plastic and on the other side; the road traffic intensity is increasing. The load bearing capacity of roads are increasing. This study discusses the suitability of plastic waste for construction of roads. A material that contain more organic polymer of large molecular weight, solid in its finished state, can be shaped by its flow is called as “plastic”. Generally plastic is used in various domestic and industrial applications. In the Current Period Use of plastic bags and bottles is very common. Use of plastics in road construction can reduce the cost of road construction and pollution index of environment to an appreciable extent. Use of this mix for road construction it helps to reduce or use plastic waste effectively. Use of waste plastic in construction material is becoming more and more acceptable due to the improved properties. Due to use of waste plastic the Cost of construction materials also decreases. When we use the waste plastic in flexible pavement it improves the abrasion & slip resistance of asphalt pavement. It is economical and eco-friendly.

Abstract The rutting and cracking of pavements has become very common problem in India. Also the quantity of plastic waste has significantly increased in the recent year due to industrialization and population growth. Improper disposal of these plastic wastes has caused various environmental problems, hence the alternative use of waste plastic in bituminous concrete for road construction has been encouraged by the community. In the present study the Indirect Tensile Strength Test has been carried out on Marshall Samples confirming to ASTM D6931-12. Three different processes (dry process, wet process and combined process) of mixing of waste plastic were used during experimentation. It was found that the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and tensile strength ratio (TSR) of sample significantly increase up to 8%, 6% and 12% for dry process, wet process and combined process respectively for LDPE and HDPE type of waste plastic.

AbstractGlobal plastic waste generation is about 300 million metric tons annually and poses crucial health and environmental problems. Africa is the second most polluted continent in the world, with over 500 shipping containers of waste being imported every month. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report suggests that about 75% of this plastic waste ends up in landfills. However, landfills management is associated with high environmental costs and loss of energy. In addition, landfill leachates end up in water bodies, are very detrimental to human health, and poison marine ecosystems. Therefore, it is imperative to explore eco-friendly techniques to transform plastic waste into valuable products in a sustainable environment. The trade-offs of using plastic waste for road construction and as a component in cementitious composites are discussed. The challenges and benefits of producing liquid fuels from plastic waste are also addressed. The recycling of plastic waste to liquid end-products was found to be a sustainable way of helping the environment with beneficial economic impact.

KKN-PPM activities aims to 1) increase public awareness and participation related to environmental hygiene, 2) increase self-supporting community for productive economy through plastic waste processing. Botutonuo village has a coastal tourist area as the community's flagship. Coastal tourist areas in this village need to be managed properly considering the increasing number of tourist visits with waste disposal potential is also increasing. The method applied in this activity is the increase of community participation in the form of healthy environmental action by processing plastic waste into a material of economic value and facilitated by the students. The results of this activity form the mindset of the community in the management of plastic waste, the availability of plastic waste processing tools into fuel oil and the formation of "KUBE Doyan Sampah" consisting of several village youth who manage the business of processed waste plastic
