The problem of disposal of plastic waste has increased day by day due to lots of households, commercialization and industrialization. Plastic waste has toxic pollutants that damage environment and cause land, water and air pollution. Plastic waste generally consists of carry bags, PET bottles, and disposal cups. Plastic is good binder, durable and non-degradable showing properties related to bitumen, so plastic waste can be used as partial replacement for bitumen in asphalting road. Most of roads constructed are asphalting road because of easily available bitumen and its maintenance. The problems challenged by roads are bad riding, poor geometrics and inadequate pavement thickness. Traffic is another problem faced by roads because of rapid rise in ownership of vehicles and industrialization. Due to these lots of pot holes created on roads. The objective of this research paper is to use waste plastic bottles in shredded form as partial replacement for bitumen in asphalting road to increase its strength. Shredded waste plastic bottles of size 2-3 mm are mixed with hot aggregates at 160-1800 C to coat over aggregates effectively. Waste plastic bottles of 7.5% by weight of bitumen gives higher Marshall Stability value i.e. 18.02 KN than bitumen content. Plastic-coated aggregates are not only beneficial for environment but also cost saving construction material
