Abstract

This work includes experimental investigation of the use of waste material in construction of roads. It is our moral responsibility to have concern about some of the frequent problems faced in India regarding roads and environmental safety such as formation of potholes, rutting, decreased durability of the pavements are of major concern in Indian villages as well as in metropolitan cities; this study also states an evergreen solution to it. The use of plastic andrelated materials is increasing exponentially due to tremendous growth in population, urbanization and changed life style leads to widespread littering of plastic on the landscape. Disposal of waste plastic is a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradability and hazardous to human health, since these are not disposed scientifically.
