Abstract
All of us are aware of the environmental problems caused by discarded plastic. To deal with these difficulties, many researchers from different fields are always researching new ways to effectively reuse various types of plastic. Plastic roadways are bituminous roads that use trashed plastic as the wearing surface. They are currently widely used in India. Since the Indian Road Congress (IRC) developed a code of standards on plastic roads (IRC SP: 982013), a number of organizations have moved forward to bring about them in India because they are both a sustainable option and an essential one. The Indian Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is currently working on a program to make significant use of discarded plastic. India presently has over 100,000 kilometers of waste plastic-constructed highways, with more regions set to follow. The road network in India has proven to be effective in offering a foundation for the development of the nation's economy. India is a multicultural nation, and its highways serve as a source of unity, providing the glue that brings people together, no matter where possible. India's road network, particularly in places that are farther away, helps development by connecting them to cities nearby and providing access to new regions. Roads in India have aided in the improvement of productivity in some places, as well as the growth of capital and more globally competitive industries. In India, where the climate is hot and humid, plastic plaster is very useful. Prepared with the use of 13 mixing proportions in this study VG-30 bitumen may be used to bind materials together. By using, melted plastic from plastic bags, bitumen has been substituted with varied quantities of 0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, and 24% in this analytical study. A marble piece with a varied proportion of zero to thirty-six percent is used to replace the aggregates in the formula. Testing with melted plastic and aggregates was done for the examination of bitumen and aggregates testing. This can be seen that for most of parameters till 12% addition of melted plastic shows normal result but further addition fluctuate the results. 18% addition of marble waste in coarse aggregate improves the impact, crushing and abrasion values of material.
