Abstract: Challenges are a lifestyle. Two such difficulties that nations with enormous populaces face are successful removal of plastic waste& laying out street network that is affordable &durable. Seeing plastic waste littered around is a typical sight in most metropolitan regions. The main plastic waste street was laid in Karnataka in 2002 for a stretch of around 400 to 500 meters. As on date a complete of 1400Km in Bangalore in various stretches 2Kms in Delhi and 6 Kms in Hyderabad was laid. The waste which is gathered from different sources like condos schools& by common specialists is placed in a shredder. The destroyed pieces are then put away in sacks for about seven days to empty out the dampness from them. Later these are taken to a hot blending plant situated on edges of city, where it is blended in with asphalt& structures a compound called polymerized bitumen. Ordinarily, the life expectancy of a street is around 3years however plastic streets life range is around 6-7years. This is on the grounds that the softening place of bitumen is 60to70degrees, though that ofplastic is about130to140degrees.
