Plastic waste, fly ash to be used to build roads in Rajasthan
Rajasthan Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Yunus Khan has approved a project to build roads by using plastic waste and fly ash in Jaipur and Dausa districts, in order to save environment in an innovative way.
An official release said last night, that a total of 24 roads – 19 in Jaipur and five in Dausa – would be built using plastic waste and fly ash under the project approved by the minister yesterday.
Mr. Khan said, on the 74 km-long road, plastic waste would be used in the construction of 62 km. Fly ash would be used in the foundation of roads.
Use of plastic waste and fly ash is an innovation in road construction which will help save environment from pollution and bring down cost as the expenses on tar and other conventional materials would be brought down by 10 per cent, as mentioned by a minister.
