polythene
Correct Answer:
C. polyblend
Explanation:
Polyblend is a fine powder created by recycling and modifying plastic waste. It was developed by Ahmed Khan in Bangalore as a sustainable solution to plastic pollution. When polyblend is mixed with bitumen (asphalt) for road construction, it significantly enhances the water-repellent properties and durability of the road surface, potentially tripling its lifespan. This material is particularly effective because it increases the temperature resistance of bitumen, preventing roads from melting in extreme heat. Unlike standard polythene or polystyrene, polyblend is a specific mixture designed to repurpose non-degradable plastic into high-performance infrastructure materials.
