Abstract

Bitumen is widely used in construction of flexible pavements due to its versatile properties like impermeability, Ductile, Binding; Bonding etc. plastic is used in almost all the industries including hospitals. The plastic waste generated from the hospitals has to be safely disposed to conserve environment. The aim of the paper is to study the optimum usage of plastic waste like syringes and glucose bottles in bitumen and its performance evaluation.
