India faces major environmental challenges associated with waste generation and inadequate waste collection, transport, treatment and disposal. Present system of waste disposal in India cannot cope with the volumes of waste generated by an increasing urban population, and its impacts on the environment and public health. The challenges and barriers are significant, but so are the opportunities to use them as alternatives, specifically to be used in subgrade. There is also increasing waste management environmental pressure to keep all potentially reusable and recyclable materials from taking up valuable space in ever-scarce landfills and pressure to reduce energy consumption and green house gas emissions. The utilization of these waste materials in subgrade will not only be an economical but will also be an eco-friendly alternative in nearby areas for road construction. This paper presents the selection criteria of waste materials to be used as subgrade without compromising its requisite engineering properties. This would help environment management and sustainable development.
