    This document proposes using waste plastic in bituminous pavement to increase strength and reduce plastic waste. The objectives are to: (1) design an asphalt mix using aggregates, plastic, 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 to not compromise strength while eliminating plastic waste and addressing global warming. The success of this project relies on competent stakeholders to conduct research on construction methodology and plastic content, develop plans and specifications, oversee construction and quality assurance, and create public awareness.

    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
