Abstract

Waste polythene which is increased week to week becomes messed of the waste polythene it turns pollutes the environment, especially where there is no garbage collection system existed. A large amount of plastic comes into the tourist trekking regions and housing area are discarded or burned which is released harmful gases into the environment and air. The waste polythene collected from domestic and industrial sectors can be used in the production of plastics coated aggregate. Waste polythene, mainly used for packing and carrying any food. It’s made up of Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and polystyrene. There softening point varies between 110 degree Celsius – 140 degree Celsius and if the wastes polythene is heated thesis temperature range then they do not produce any toxic gases but the softened waste polythene have tendency to form a film like structure over the aggregate, when it is sprayed over the hot aggregate at 160 degree Celsius – 170 degree Celsius. The Plastics Coated Aggregates (PCA) is a better raw material for the construction of flexible pavement. PCA was mixed with hot bitumen of different types and the mixes were used for road construction.
