Construction of new roads are important, to provide standard of transportation system. The wear and tear of tyres is undisputed. Such huge numbers of scrap tires are being produced. Many waste and destroyed tires are now in presence and with yearly age rate of 15 to 20% every year. These tyres are discarded indiscriminately. Therefore it is required to use old rubber tyres to prevent posing threat to environment. various waste materials like waste plastic and metropolitan waste are of extraordinary concern. Among these strong waste administration is the pushed region. This paper talks with respect to the appropriateness of plastic waste materials for asphalt development. We can diminish the expense of street development by application of plastics in road development. Plastic is a decent fastener with bitumen. It gives better strength, protection from water and durability. The mix of plastic coated aggregates gives higher strength. application of plastic in materials is becoming more and more acceptable due to improved properties of material.
