The project aims to explore the possibility of using non-biodegradable waste materials, such as carry bags, garbage bags, PET bottles and other low-density plastic, in the construction of roads, along with bitumen. The waste is mixed in different proportions to the soil sample and their influences on geotechnical properties were studied. The results of the tests indicated that plastic alone is not suitable for pavement sub grade. When quarry dust was added along with soil plastic mix, it maintains the CBR value within the required range. But the use of plastic-waste has been a concern for scientists and engineers for a quite long time. Recent studies in this direction have shown some hope in terms of using plastic-waste in road construction i.e., Plastic roads. Plastic roads mainly use plastic carry-bags, disposable cups and PET bottles that are collected from garbage dumps as an important ingredient of the construction material. When mixed with hot bitumen, plastics melt to form an oily coat over the aggregate and the mixture is laid on the road surface like a normal tar road. The government is keen on encouraging the setting up of small plants for mixing waste plastic and bitumen for road construction. Plastics will increase the melting point of the bitumen. The use of the innovative technology not only strengthened the road construction but also increased the road life as well as will help to improve the environment and also creating a source of income
