Bituminous Pavements are economical but the problem is it’s high maintenance cost. To reduce this maintenance cost & to make it more economical, Bitumen is partially replaced by Plastic waste which solves the problem caused by disposal and burning of Plastic waste on the environment to large extent. In the Present Research, Possible numbers of experimental studies are done to understand the changes in the property of aggregate, bitumen as well as of bituminous mixes after utilization of waste plastic. The results show significant changes after the utilisation in different percentages.
