Artifacts

India is inundated with with plastic waste. Plastic has taken over the beaches, streets, parking lots, and everywhere imaginable. Ahmed Khan’s company, K.K.Plastic Waste Management, is helping to resolve this problem. Waste plastic is mixed with asphalt to form a polymerized bitumen which can then be used as pavement for roads. Khan determined the right ratio of bitumen to plastic. This new mixture is more durable and less costly to make and maintain than original asphalt solutions. This project allowed me to understand the major problems that face other countries in the world today, particularly in India. It has also allowed me to understand the types and practicality of the solutions available.
