Plastic waste is one such resource, a major component of solid waste which is abundantly available and disposed of without proper treatment. There has been an exponential growth in municipal plastic waste disposal, especially in urban areas which deteriorates the beauty of the landscape.Plastic was found to be an effective binder for bitumen mixes used in flexible pavements. This efficient method helps the pavements to resist higher temperature by minimizing the formation of cracks and reducing rainwater infiltration which otherwise leads to development of potholes. These pavements have shown improved crushing and abrasion values and reduced water seepage. Plastic roads would be a boon for India’s hot and extremely humid climate, where temperatures frequently cross 50°C and torrential rains create havoc, leaving most of the roads with big potholes.
