Now days, the population growth, industrialization, consumerism and technological development have led to uncontrollable accumulation of waste. Proper waste disposal is of great importance in both rural and urban areas. Many of the wastes produced today will remain in the environment for many years leading to various environmental concerns. Plastic which is toxic in nature is found to be nearly 5% in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). A major problem nowadays is the disposal of plastic wastes. These wastes are non biodegradable in nature causing environmental pollution and hygiene problems. In this study bitumen and aggregates are coated with various percentage of waste plastic (0 %, 4 %, 8 %, and 12 %) replacement. And various laboratory tests are done on these samples. It has been observed that, the optimum replacement of waste plastic to bitumen without changing the properties is 12%.
