    This document discusses a project to reduce plastic waste by incorporating plastic into bituminous pavement mixtures. The objectives are to 1) design an asphalt mixture using plastic, aggregate, and bitumen, 2) increase pavement strength and performance, 3) reduce the need for bitumen, and 4) reduce plastic waste and develop an eco-friendly technology. Proper project planning is required to determine the right plastic type and proportion, process the plastic into a usable material, and ensure it meets standards. Various stakeholder groups must cooperate, including those responsible for research, planning, construction, quality control, and community outreach. Permits and testing are required before construction to comply with agency standards.

    Plastic Waste on a Bituminous Pavement

    Introduction:
    The major threat to the environment is the disposal of waste plastic which results to
    pollution and global warming. As a Civil Engineer in a highway structure our major problem
    are the potholes and corrugation. In order to address these problems, Plastic pavement will
    be a better solution.
    The concept of this project is to use waste plastic in order to reduce the amount of
    bitumen in a usual mixture of Bituminous Pavement which gives more durability and
    strength to the constructed pavement.

    Objective:
    1. To design the asphalt pavement with aggregate-plastic- bitumen mix.
    2. Increase strength and better performance of constructed pavement.
    3. Reduce the need of bitumen in construction of asphalt pavements.
    4. To reduce plastic waste (Plastic is a non-degradable waste, causes green-
    house effect and global warming).
    5. Develop technology which is eco-friendly.
    How can we apply then the principles in Project Management with this
    kind of project?
    I. Planning
    In this stage, the main purpose of the project is to come up with the
    following perspectives:
    1. Integrate plastic waste into a bituminous pavement without
    compromising the strength and durability of the structure and at
    the same time it will withstand different weather.
    2. To know exactly the right proportion of plastic waste and the right
    plastic for this project.
    3. To eradicate plastic waste to address global warming.
    To attain this kind of perspective, the following should be organized:
    1. Create an environment friendly technology that will process the
    plastic waste into a raw material for a ready use.
    2. By-products should be tested and conform to the existing
    standards of the department.
    3. Stakeholders, Contractors, as well as the local politicians and inter
    agency should cooperate and make a stand to implement
    segregation of waste in order to have a straight forward insight to
    this kind of project.

    II. Organizing
    The success of this project rely on the right people who are
    competent and committed to help in a green project.
    - The Research Section that will be responsible in the proper
    construction methodology, the amount of plastic waste to be
    added and the right plastic waste to be used. Different plastic
    might have different behavior/ chemical reaction to the
    bitumen.
    - The Planning Section that will evaluate the methods to be
    applied and provide accurate plans and specification.
    - The Implementing Section and Quality Assurance Section that
    will take over during the construction stage. In charge to the
    proper application and material specification.
    - The Administrative section that will do the advertisement/
    posting of events to the public for proper dissemination and
    awareness.

    III. Securing
    During the research stage all necessary permits should be
    processed. There will be a collaboration of work between agency-
    to- agency like the DOST, DENR, DPWH, DILG and the like in
    order to have a smooth and well oriented application of this
    project. It will undergo several trials and testing that will conform
    to the existing standards. No commencement of work if there will
    be a non-conformance to at least of the agency involve.
    IV. Managing
    As to the manpower, the stake holder and the contractor should
    have a skilled and well
    V. Leading
    VI. Controlling
