Plastic waste management has become a pressing global issue, particularly in countries like India where production rates are alarmingly high. This research explores the feasibility and benefits of incorporating plastic waste into bituminous mixtures for flexible pavement construction as a sustainable solution. The study objectives include preparing bituminous mix samples with and without plastic waste, evaluating the properties of aggregate coated with plastic waste, and assessing stability and workability using Marshall Stability tests. Methodology involves collecting materials, preparing specimens, and conducting tests according to relevant standards. Results indicate that plastic waste enhances resistance to wear and impact in aggregates and improves asphalt binder-aggregate adhesion. Marshall Stability tests demonstrate increased stability with the addition of plastic waste, while higher bitumen content enhances cohesion and flowability. These findings suggest the potential for sustainable utilization of plastic waste to enhance the performance of bituminous concrete mixes for road construction, contributing to environmental preservation and resource efficiency.
