Gadkari Supports IIT Tech Using Waste Plastic in NH-44 Bitumen
A pilot test section using waste plastic in bitumen was recently laid along NH-44 in Jhansi. Officials said this IIT-developed technology could reduce conventional bitumen consumption by about 4%, lowering demand for bitumen that India mostly imports. This marks the first use of waste plastic in national highway construction bitumen, aiming to enhance sustainability and reduce imports.
