Ahmed Khan a plastic sack manufacturer of Bangalore, found an ideal solution to the problem of increasing plastic waste. His company developed Polyblend, a fine powder of recycled modified plastic. The raw material for creating Polyblend was any plastic film waste. The polyblend mixture was mixed with the bitumen and was used to lay roads. In collaboration with R.V.College of Engineering and the Bangalore City Corporation, Ahmed Khan proved that blends of Polyblend and bitumen, when used to lay roads, enhanced the bitumen’s water repellant properties, and helped to increase road life by a factor of three. Using Khan’s technique, by the year 2002, more than 40 kms of road in Bangalore has already been laid. Thus decresing the amount of plastic waste to a great extent.
