1. PLASTIC POLYMER ROAD URGE OF NEW ERA
DRY PROCESS

2. PLASTICS AN AUTOMBOMB
Some scientists have called for reclassifying plastic as a hazardous waste. This would give environmental agencies more tools and funding to clean up plastic in ecosystems around the world. One of the authors of a commentary in Nature is Chelsea Rochman, an marine ecologist at the University of California at Davis. She tells host Steve Curwood about the dangerous pollutants inside many plastic products.
Every year, humans produce nearly 280 million tons of plastic. And much of that plastic ends up in the environment, harming marine life and other ecosystems. Now a group of scientists has a potential solution. Writing in Nature magazine, they argue that reclassifying plastics as hazardous waste would give regulators more tools and funding to clean the place up. One of the authors, Chelsea Rochman, a marine ecologist at the University of California at Davis, says it’s clear that plastics need a new label.

3. PLASTIC A DUAL EDGE SWOARD

4. WHY PLASTIC All These… at Lesser Cost Replacing Traditional Materials
…Due to Superior Properties
Safe & Hygienic – Inert and Chemical Resistance
●Light Weight & Non-Breakability
●Excellent Barrier Properties - Enhancing Shelf-life
●Superior Impact Resistance
●Transparency as well as Opacity.
●Lower Fuel Consumption and Product Loss during Transportation
All These… at Lesser Cost

14. SALIENT FEATURES – DISPOSAL OF WASTE PLASTICS – ECO FRIENDLY

15. Salient features of the Process
Multi layer films can be used
No new machinery required
No Industry Involvement
No granulation or Powdering of plastics‐ only shredding
In‐situ process
Eco friendly process
Only stone is modified and not Bitumen
Scraps can be used
Value addition to waste plastics
No need for land filling and Incineration

20. Benefits of laying plastic roads – Rural Roads
1. Rural Roads lakhs Km if these roads are constructed as plastic tar roads
– we need 24.5 lakhs tones of waste plastics!!!!!!-
We prevent nearly 75 lakh tones of Carbon Dioxide entering our atmosphere by burning waste plastics
We save 24.5 lakhs tons of bitumen
We save nearly Rs crores worth of bitumen
No maintenance cost for ten years
Total waste plastics used for packing material per in India is around 20 lakhs tones only.
The plastic available is insufficient for laying rural roads only.
In a nut shell the Government provides not only good roads but also uses all the waste plastics and reduces carbon dioxide – bitumen usage.
Not less than crores saved
To convert all roads in India to plastic roads we need import plastic waste from other countries
If all roads are converted in to plastic roads ??????????

21. BENEFITS OF REUSING ROAD SCRAP
BITUMEN – 50% SAVED
AGGREGATE – 50% SAVED
COST – 50% SAVED
DISPOSAL OF SCRAP IN AN ECOFRIENDLY WAY
USE OF SCRAP FOR LAYING RURAL ROADS
BETTER TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES FOR RURAL AREAS
LIFE OF THE ROAD IS ALSO INCREASED
