The disposal of plastic waste is a great dilemma in present times due to its non-biodegradable nature and the scarcity and unsustainability of landfills. Studies reveal that it can be successfully utilised in bituminous concrete (BC) mixes in flexible pavements. There are two methods available, namely, dry method (DM) and wet method (WM) that incorporate plastic wastes in the BC mixes. In this study, a comparison has been made by utilising shredded plastic waste carry bags made of low-density polyethylene in BC mixes in flexible pavements by WM and DM. The Marshall stability value, flow value, indirect tensile strength tests were carried out and the results were compared. It was found that DM is the most effective and is a better option as it is simple, economical, eco-friendly and yields better results.

通过湿法和干法在沥青混合物中使用塑料废料

由于塑料废物不可生物降解的性质以及垃圾填埋场的稀缺性和不可持续性，目前处置塑料垃圾是一个巨大的难题。研究表明，它可以成功地用于柔性路面的沥青混凝土（BC）混合料中。有两种可用的方法，即干法（DM）和湿法（WM），它们将塑料废物掺入BC混合物中。在这项研究中，WM和DM通过在柔性路面的BC混合物中使用由低密度聚乙烯制成的切碎的塑料垃圾袋进行了比较。进行了马歇尔稳定性值，流量值，间接拉伸强度测试，并对结果进行了比较。发现DM是最有效的并且是更好的选择，因为它简单，经济，生态友好并且产生更好的结果。
