Think of some new or emerging technology that can be use to manage the company better You must write a feasibility report on it for the local government. How will you determine its feasibility in technological, social, administrative or other terms? Conduct a feasibility study on the implementation of the technology and brainstorm on points of comparison on either of the on points of comparison on A. having the technology or without the technology, or B. Comparing on two new types of technology that you're about to introduce - Prepare your feasibility report according to the report format. List references that you use (at least 3 different references). Format-Times New Use Roman, Font Size 12, 1.5 Spacing - 0Explanation / Answer
Title : Use of plastic waste in construction of roads.
Content List :
Plastic as a big threat to environment
Degradation of roads due to environmental changes.
Using plastic in construction of roads to improve the quality of roads.
Help in saving the environment.
Making roads more durable and economical.
Executive Summary: Today plastic have become a great threat to environment, as it doesn't degrade easily and causes a lot of pollution on being burnt. A new technology which has emerged in India in past few years, is using plastic in construction of roads. The plastic mainly used in this process is less than 60 micron. This plastic when used increases that life of normal road which was initially 3-4 years to 5-8 years and also reduces the cost of construction as it replaces the bitumen used in construction.
Introduction : Today the roads are built mainly of 2 types (1) Concrte (2) Bitminous roads. The concrete roads are usually more durable but are quite expansive where as bituminous roads are less expensive and durable. They don't long last as concrete but are durable. A new technology which uses a definite percentage of plastic in roads construction has emerged. In this the plastic is added into the constituents of roads by 2 methods
(1.) Wet
(2.) Dry
In wet method the plastic is added directly to bitumen where as in dry method the plastic is coated on aggregates by heating them upto 200 C.
Discussions : By experiments it is found that dry method is more appropriate. Approximately 1 tonne of plastic can be used in making 1km of road. The technology has no disadvantage. It recycles the plastic, make the road durable as well as reduces it's construction cost. Without this technology the condition of road will be same as before and no plastic will be recycled This technology will be highly feasible in government sector.
Conclusion : This technology is the need for the hour, it has triple advantage it reduces plastic waste hence crubbing pollution, make roads durable, reduces the construction cost. Hence it should be applied throughout the world.
Recommendations : This technology has been tested in India and is being directed by the government to follow the technology. Hence it is highly recommended to use it.
