Recycling Plastic Waste to Construct Road
Budget : NA
Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process
About the Project:
The disposed plastic ranging from polybags to biscuit packets are used for constructing roads in the city using bitumen technology. JUSCO has constructed 12-15 km roads in the steel city, as well as widened 22 roads using the environmentally-friendly technology. Bitumen, also commonly known as Asphalt, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. The primary use of bitumen is in road construction where it is used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete. The initiative is helping in reducing the use of bitumen by 7% in construction. For every stretch of such one km long and four metre wide road, one ton of bitumen costing Rs 50,000 is saved. The quality and longevity of roads made of waste plastic-aggregate-bitumen is two times better than bitumen road. The use of plastic waste for road construction is helping in tackling the plastic waste problem and improving the quality of road.
