As bituminous road is mainly used in India for avoiding scarcity of bitumen for development of road plastic waste is useful raw material. It has been found that plastic waste act as binding material for bitumen, hence it improving the properties of the bitumen. In present study, a comparison is carried is carried out use of plastic waste (5%) in bitumen concrete mixes and use in for road construction. Key Words: Bitumen, Aggregate, Plastic Waste, Marshall Stability, Penetration. 1.INTRODUCTION Plastic is manmade polymer which are any of various complex organic compound produced by polymerization is process of small molecules combine to make a large chainlike structure. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic is now used for packaging of materials for a whole range of consumer products. Use of plastic is rapidly in daily life due to urbanization. Plastic waste degrade very slow i.e. it takes decades to centuries for its complete degradation. The natural degradation of plastic is harmful for environment which cause of air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution. Disposal of plastic waste is serious issue at global level. The use of plastic waste in bituminous road is better way to disposal of plastic waste. Also replacement of bitumen with plastic waste is more effective which reduces the use of conventical bituminous material. 1.1Problem Statement  The rapid rate of urbanization and development has lead to increasing plastic waste generation. As plastic is non-biodegradable in nature, it remains in environment for several years and it causes pollution. So disposal of plastic waste is important for avoid bad impact on environment.  Plastic waste disposal is continue to be major problem for a civic authorities. 1.2Objective  To reduce plastic waste by using it in bituminous road.  To evaluate the stability performance on modified hot mix bitumen with plastic.  To save environment from pollution of plastic waste. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW I. DR.R.VASUDEVAN (2011): Polymer bitumen blend is bettar binder campared to plain bitumen. Blend has increased softening point decreased penetration value with suitable ductility. II. APURVA J CHAVAN (2013): Use of plastic Waste in pavement of roads prevents the moisture adsorption and oxidation of bitumen by entrapped air. The roads can withstand heavy traffic and shows better durability. III. K.V.R.PRASAD (2013): The waste bitumen mix forms better material for pavement constructions the mix shows higher Marshall stability value and suitable Marshall Coefficient. Hence use of the waste plastics for pavement is one of the best methods for easy disposal waste plastic. IV. NABIN RANA MAGAR (2014): The penetration value and softening point of plain bitumen can be improved significantly by modifying with addition of crumb rubber which is major environment pollutant. V. NITIN DUTTA SHARMA (2015): The optimum use plastic can be done up to 10%, based on Marshall Stability Test. VI. YASH MENRIA (2015): The property of bitumen such as penetration, softening point improved with addition of waste fiber. VII. ATHIRA R PRASAD (2015): The use of plastic in 6% by weight of bitumen improves the pavement stability. VIII. R MANJU (2017): The Plastic mixed with bitumen and aggregate gives better performance of the roads. IX. A.LOGESHKUMARAN (2018): Using Lignin and Plastic as a partial replacement of bitumen pavements the results are very effective when compared to usual usage of bitumen in construction of pavements.
