Plastic Wastes used in process:
The following types of waste plastic can be used in the construction of rural roads:
Films ( Carry Bags, Cups) thickness up to 60micron (PE, PP and PS)
Hard foams (PS) any thickness
Soft Foams (PE and PP) any thickness.
Laminated Plastics thickness up to 60 micron (Aluminum coated also) packing materials used for biscuits, chocolates, etc.,
Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets or Flux sheets should not be used in any case.
Process Step 4:
The plastics waste coated aggregate is mixed with got bitumen and the resulted mix is used for road construction. The road laying temperature is between 110°c to 120°c. The roller used is 8-ton capacity.
Characteristics of the process:
Easy process without any new machinery
Simple process without any industry involvement
In situ process
Use of lesser % of bitumen and thus savings on bitumen resource
Use of plastics waste for a safe and eco-friendly process
Both Mini Hot Mix Pland and Central Mixing Plant can be used
Only aggregate is polymer coated and bitumen is not modified
Use of 60/70 and 80/90 bitumen is possible
No evolution of any toxic gases like dioxin
Fly ash can also be used to give a better performance
