ABSTRACT <br/>Plastic manufacture and disposal produce greenhouse gases and toxic waste. Plastic <br/>and associated compounds are accumulating on land, in seas, lakes, rivers, ice, and air, <br/>harming human and ecological health. Global warming is one of the major issues <br/>caused by plastic waste and requires considerable attention to be handled <br/>systematically, even though everyone must contribute to the solution of this problem, <br/>the global warming issue is projected to worsen in the coming years. Plastic pollution <br/>may disrupt habitats and natural processes, reducing climate adaptation. This impacts <br/>the livelihoods, food supplies, and social well-being of people. This is owing to the <br/>fast growth in recycled plastic waste material, as discarded plastic bottles have become <br/>a worldwide concern and are burnt for disposal, creating environmental pollution. <br/>The study contains literature about several waste recycled materials usage in asphalt <br/>but is focused on use of recycled plastic. The use of recycled plastic waste material in <br/>pavement construction has shown that it may help with waste management, cost <br/>reduction, and enhanced road quality, in addition to alleviating disposal issues. The <br/>method employed for sorting the substantial articles needed is a highly structured <br/>assessment of the literature, which involves a systematic search and screening of <br/>articles investigating the use of recycled materials in pavement construction based on <br/>accessible research results. The study also used qualitative content and systematic <br/>analysis of data obtained from sources to evaluate statistical data about annual plastic <br/>waste production, the cost of using recycled materials to achieve adequate quality and <br/>strength, and the assumption that the pavement would be constructed with recycled <br/>plastic waste materials to have sustainable roads. <br/>According to the findings of our study, adding waste plastic into the construction of <br/>roads improves the stability, strength, fatigue life, and other desirable attributes of <br/>bituminous mixes. This ultimately results in an extended pavement lifespan and <br/>performance. A circular economy that encourages waste collection services, recycling, <br/>and reuse may reduce plastic waste. The research discovered that the cost of recycling <br/>waste is somewhat high, however, the work performed on projects and the analysis <br/>undertaken led to a 10 percent decrease in expenses. Plastic, on the other hand, <br/>decreases the proportion of bitumen and gives a better mix blend with aggregates and <br/>fillers. Using recycled plastic waste instead of asphalt or gravel in pavements <br/>decreases landfill strains and excavation needs and improves other solid waste <br/>management programs by diverting waste from landfills. <br/>Keywords: Plastic waste, Plastic waste recycled materials in the pavement, <br/>Sustainable roads, Use of Plastic, Waste recycled materials in the pavement. |
