Question

Explain the solutions found by Ahmed Khan, a Bengaluru based plastic sack manufacturer, after realising the problems created by plastic wastes.

Answer 1

Ahmed Khan, a plastic sack manufacturer from Bangalore, developed Polyblend, which is a fine powder made from recycled and modified plastic waste. This Polyblend is mixed with bitumen and used in the construction of roads.

The addition of Polyblend improves the water-resistant properties of bitumen, making the roads more durable. It increases the strength and lifespan of the roads and also helps in the effective management of plastic waste.
