 plastic waste - hazard to the environment.
 plastics waste - construction of flexible
pavement.
Plastic Road At Thambaram (2007)
2
What is plastic??
A material that contains one or more
organic polymers of large molecular
weight, solid in its finished state and at
some state while manufacturing or
processing into finished articles, can be
shaped by its flow.
 Types of plastics
1.Thermosets.
2.Elastomers.
3.Thermoplastics.
3
1. solids or semi solid materials
2. light yellow to darkbrown in colour
3. carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
4. globules on the bark .
4
1. derived primarily from petroleum.
2. polystyrene, polyesters and acrylics
3. used in the manufacture of varnishes,
plastics, adhesives and rubber.
5
1. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET,PETE)
2. Density polyethylene(HDPE)
3. Vinyl(Poly vinyl chloride or PVC)
4. Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE)
5. Polypropylene(PP)
6
1. Segregation .
2. Cleaning process .
3. Shredding process .
4. Collection process .
7
› plastic waste collected from various sources must
be separated from other waste.
› Maximum thickness of 60 microns.
SEGREGATION PROCESS
8
 Plastic waste get cleaned and dried.
cleaning process
9
 will be shredded or cut into small piece.
 the different types of plastic wastes are
mixed together
shredding process
10
 the plastic waste retaining in 2.36 mm is
collected.
collected plastic
11
 There are two type of field trials
1.Dry process
2.Wet process
12
 The aggregate is heated to 170°C in the
Mini hot Mix Plant .
Heated aggregates
13
 the shredded plastic waste is added in
equal proportion.
Adding shredded plastic
14
15
Aggregate-plastic- Bitumen Mix
•The mixture is transferred to the road
and the road is laid.
• Immediately the hot Bitumen 60/70 or
80/100 grade (160°C) is added .
 Waste plastics by direct mixing
with hot bitumen at 160°C
 Mechanical stirrer is needed
 Addition of stabilizers and proper cooling.
 Since the wet process require a lot of
investment and bigger plants
 Not commonly used..
16
1 Binding property
 Plastic is a good binder.
BINDING PROPERTY
% of plastic coating over
aggregate
Compressive strength
(MPa)
Bending strength
(MPa)
10% 250 325
20% 270 335
30% 290 350
40% 320 390
17
 2 Thermal study
Thermal study
18
 that the use of higher percentage of plastics
in polymer modified bitumen is not
favorable.
Polymer modified bitumen
19
1 .Aggregate impact value
 plastics improves aggregate impact value.
 helps to improve the quality of flexible
pavement
Aggregate impact value
20
2.Los Angel’s Abrasion Test
 wear and tear values of plastic coated
aggregate is found to be decreasing the
percentage of plastics
 (Eg.37% without plastic, 32% with 1%
plastic and 29% with 2% plastic)
3.Soundness Test
 The plastic coated aggregate, did not show
any weight loss, improvement in the quality
of the aggregate.
21
 Use higher percentage of plastic waste.
 Reduce the need of bitumen by around
10%.
 Increase the strength and performance of
the road.
 Reduce the cost to around Rs. 5000/Km. of
single lane road.
 Generate jobs for rag pickers.
 Develop a technology, which is eco-
friendly.
22
1. Cleaning process
 Toxics present in the co-mingled plastic
waste would d start leaching.
2. During the road laying process
 But the presence of chlorine will definitely
release noxious HCL gas.
23
 The components of the road, once it has
been laid, are not inert.
 It is opined that the first rain will trigger
leaching. As the plastics will merely form a
sticky layer, (mechanical abrasion).
 once the road is started to be used will
cause the release of fine polymer particles.
 When air-borne, these will cause a
particulate problem.
24
 Plastic will increase the melting point of the
bitumen
 use of the innovative technology not only
strengthened the road construction but also
increased the road life
 Help to improve the environment .
 plastic road would be a boon for India’s hot
and extremely humid climate where
durable and eco-friendly roads which will
relive the earth from all type of plastic waste
