“…The concentration of these polar atoms acts as an initiator for the formation of most functional groups as detected by FTIR, some of which may lead to the deterioration of pavement by aging [18] . Thus, the carbonyl group indicates an increase in the polarity of the bitumen, which leads to greater molecular aggregation or agglomeration [19] , which leads to an increase in the viscosity of the bitumen and susceptibility to hardening [17] . The peaks at 745.85 cm −1 , 810.76 cm −1 , 1374.78 cm −1 , 1455.50 cm −1 , and 1601.34 cm −1 were due to the vibration of C = C on the benzene ring and its substitutions [68] .…”

“…Plastic wastes can be partially used as aggregate in construction materials. Plastic waste has been used in various construction materials such as brick production [6] , [9] , [10] , [11] , coatings [12] , [13] , aggregate in concrete [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , soil material [18] , [19] , and asphalt binder/mixture [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] .…”

“…Amena [3,36] has used plastic stripes in 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% and reported that increasing the percentage of plastic strips increased the CBR values and cohesion of soil by up to 1.5%. Gangwar and Tiwari [35] used waste plastic bottles for soil stabilisation in 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. Because the second waste of plastic is smaller in size and is used to implement a large usage of waste in the current work, the proportion began with 1%.…”

“…Figure 1 shows the material used in the current research. Earlier, Preethi [35] had used plastic strips such that they passed through a 4.75 mm sieve for soil stabilisation in the present work, the second waste plastics passing through a 4.75 mm sieve size and retained at 0.075 mm were segregated and considered for mixing with black cotton soil. Moreover, in the present work, the crushed pieces and the process was done as per ASTM D6913M-17, 2017 [34].…”

Black cotton soils, which are expansive, are present in abundance in Ethiopia. This type of soil possesses expansion when saturated with water and contraction during hot seasons, due to which it is labelled as “weak soil.” They may remain a threat to the structures if they are constructed over them without precautions. The quality of such soils can be improved by treating them with suitable stabilizers or soil reinforcers. This paper discusses the chances of using the second waste of plastic bottles as a reinforcer to strengthen weak black cotton soils in Ethiopia. Second, plastic bottle waste was added at 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9% to the soil, and numerous trials were conducted to ensure the reliability of the results. The effects were analyzed based on the results from the Atterberg limit tests, compaction tests, unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests, and the California bearing ratio test (CBR) for soaked and unsoaked conditions. The results were compared against the natural soil results, and the optimum usage percentage of second waste plastic required to reinforce the soil was reported. The results indicate that among the various properties used, the mix with 2% second waste plastic is effective with numerous trials being conducted to ensure the reliability of the results and decreased values of OMC by 18.5%, increased MDD by 1.9%, increased CBR by 50.9%, and increased UCS by 10.1%. Thus, the research provides a novel technique to recycle plastic waste once again as soil reinforcement, thereby saving the environment from dumped waste.

“…The inability of waste plastic to biodegrade in the atmosphere has created various challenges for both urban and rural India (Adeyanju et al 2021). Drain clogging, water stagnation, and harmful gas leakage during open incineration are all common concerns linked with waste plastic generation (Gangwar and Tiwari 2021). As plastic is resilient, non-reactive, and mainly nonbiodegradable, it stays in landfills for prolonged periods, posing a risk because harmful chemicals are drained out and contaminate underground water bodies (Singh et al 2008;Devi et al 2019).…”

India is one of the world’s large and fastest-growing economies. With the expanding development, the usage of plastic for anthropogenic activities has expanded many folds and India alone generated around 3.3 million metric tonnes of plastic in the financial year 2019. 79 percent of the plastic generated worldwide enters our land, water, and environment as waste; part of it also enters our bodies through the food chain. The industry in India states that 60 percent of what is generated is recycled and we had assumed that we had solved the problem of plastic waste by recycling, or burying it in landfills. But we were incorrect. Plastic garbage is omnipresent today. It is filling up our oceans and harming marine life and affecting all organisms in the food chain. With the development of economic growth of the country per capita consumption of plastic will only increase in the coming years and we will end up generating more plastic waste The review paper aimed to examine the major impact of plastic waste in India and how to reduce plastic consumption, considering measures such as phasing out or banning multilayered plastics that cannot be recycled, contemplating renewable raw materials, promoting the use of bioplastics, incentivizing the recycling business, and making the rules and guidelines for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) simple and enforceable.
