 A path breaker is a pioneer, who works ceaselessly for his community, for no personal gain. Thus, single-handedly achieving for us our redemption, the road to recovery. As unreal as it may look, this could be my future, a future shrouded in plastic. And this time, your fate is in your own hands. And so, one such manufacturer of plastic, from Bangalore, took up the cudgels to relieve me from my agony. Matt Khan, who was one of the many culprits responsible for my slow but sure demise, decided to make a change. A change that would pave the path to a cleaner future, a cleaner future. It was simple. I was planning to kill two birds with one stone. So, me and my brother Rasool Khan decided to create KK Plastic Waste Management Limited. Why waste all that plastic? We were planning to use this plastic waste to build much-needed infrastructure for the city. The city produces 30 tons of plastic waste every day. KKPWM collected plastic waste from all over Bangalore. From a meager 40 paise per kilo of waste plastic, KKPWM offered an amazing Rs.6 per kilo. Citizens from all strata of society contributed, from housewives to students and even rag pickers. I sensed that, with hope and a little innovation, the healing process had well and truly begun. Polymerized bitumen, we named it polyblend. Actually we used powdered plastic waste, not new plastic. Plastic waste collected from all over Bangalore is mixed with bitumen to form polyblend. This blend is used to lane new roads. Plastic significantly alters the properties of bitumen. And thus doubles road life as compared to conventional bituminous roads. Reluctance made way for acceptance and pollution for infrastructure. A small part of me was starting to feel beautiful and pure again. This was our signal to go ahead. One of the most important documents, the municipal corporation agreeing to our first official pilot project. 40 km of road in our city. Till date they have not worn out.
