Use of Plastic Waste in Flexible Pavements: A Review

Abstract

Plastic has become a constant element in our lives. It's everywhere: product packaging, cosmetic ingredients, textiles, mobile phones, etc. It's even in the chewing gum you might be chewing on right now! Its omnipresence is such that many would find the mere fact of giving it up a difficult task. Reducing the consumption of plastics therefore requires not only a change in habits, but also a change of mindset. Safe disposal of waste plastic is a serious environmental problem. In this paper the authors have listed the use of plastic in flexible pavements and brief overview of abrasive flow machining process is done.
