ABSTRACT
Roads are the Primary and basic means of transport which play a vital role in a
country’seconomy. In a country like India which has the 2 nd largest road network,
construction of durable, strong, tough and long lasting roads is certainly necessary.
Plastic being one of the revolutionary invention of humans a century ago is now one
of the biggest hindrance for the mankind. Enough plastic is throw never year to
circle earth four times. Around 8 million tons of plastic is thrown into our oceans
every year killing in numerous aquatic organisms.
Many Environmentalists, researchers, scientists and common people are working

towards plastic waste management. Using recycled plastic is cost effective means of
meetingexpenses and helps to conserve our resources. Recycled plastic can also be
used to repairhighways. Recycled plastic bottles are also being turned into drainage
filtration systems androad stabilization. Usage of waste plastic in construction of
roads is playing a significant role in both the aspects already discussed above:
Usage of plastics in road construction not only improves the properties of the road
but also creates a path to utilize the waste plastics in a productive and safe way.
The present Seminar Focuses on Plastic waste being turned into functional roads in
Variouscountries like India, Australia, Indonesia, United states. In Indonesia roads
are beingconstructed using Plastic-Asphalt mix. In India roads are being constructed
using Plastic-Bitumen mix. “Volker wessels” a European based construction company
is planning to build Pre fabric at road parts made up of 100% recycled plastic .We
are going know the salient features, advantages of Plastic roads and also look into
various hazards plastic roads may cause.
