Abstract: The quantum of plastic waste in municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasing due to increase in population, urbanization, development activities and changes in life style which leading widespread littering on the landscape. Thus, disposal of waste plastic is a menace and become a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradability and anaesthetic view. Since these are not disposed scientifically & possibility to create ground and water pollution. Rutting is caused by accumulation of permanent deformations caused by repeated applications of traffic loads and it is a stress controlled cyclic loading phenomenon. The process of deformation of bituminous surfacing is accelerated by increase of pavement temperature, reduction in stiffness of mix and increase in traffic loads. The aim of this project is to report findings of study on increase in stiffness modulus of bituminous mixes by incorporation of waste polymeric packaging material (WPPM) to enhance pavement performance as well as to protect environment.
