plastic waste, bitumen, aggregate, strength, durability.

Plastic waste and its disposal pose a serious risk to the environment, causing pollution and global warming. Bituminous mixes become stronger and more possessive when plastic waste is incorporated into them1. It will also provide an answer for the disposal of plastic and other pavement flaws like potholes, corrugations, ruts, etc. The waste plastics that are utilized are low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). The leftover plastic is shred, covered in aggregate, combined with heated bitumen, and used to create a mixture for paving. The plastic is successfully coated over the aggregates after the aggregate mix is heated. Bitumen is heated and combined with the aggregates coated in plastic waste. This will improve the road surface's water resistance, durability, and strength of the pavement. The mechanical, chemical, and environmental performance of roads built with a 20% plastic-bitumen mixture is assessed in this review paper.
