Waste cooking oil and waste plastic used in bitumen modification

Now a day’s population is augmenting at a frightening rate resulting in generation of substantial waste. This is because of the excessive use of the biodegradable and non- biodegradable products or materials such as plastic, rubber, cooking oil etc. The disposal of the generated waste requisite the junkyards for its disposal and may cause environmental pollution.
