With the increase in population, urbanization and changes in life style the use of polythene is increasing day by day and the disposal of waste plastic has become a serious problem. Polythene is non-biodegradable and environmentally unacceptable. So, to dispose these plastics we have to make alternate use of it and, there is the need to adopt effective methods to utilize these plastics waste. The study evaluates the addition of shredded waste plastic in the bituminous concrete which results in significant increase in the stability value. Bitumen modification has been commonly performed by addition of thermoplastic or elastomeric polymers. However, there are just a few studies on bitumen blends using multiple materials seeking for specific advantages provided by addition of these modifiers. The addition of polymers to bitumen allows the modification of certain physical properties such as softening point, brittleness and ductility, of the bitumen. In the presence study the use of waste plastic in bitumen is safe and sustainable for road construction.
