Plastics are everywhere in today’s lifestyle and are growing rapidly throughout particularly in a developing country like India. As these are non-biodegradable there is a major problem posed to the society with regard to the management of these solid wastes. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been found to be a good modifier of bitumen. Even, the reclaimed polyethylene originally made of LDPE has been observed to modify bitumen. In the present study, an attempt has been made to use reclaimed polyethylene which has been obtained from different kinds of plastic waste and for the plastic is also obtained from recycling plant in grain form, in dry form with the aggregates like a fiber in a bituminous mix. Detailed study on the effects of this locally waste polyethylene on several properties of Bitumen will be made in this study.
