Waste polymers have been explored for diverse applications, including energy generation and biochemical production, yet their utilization in asphalt roads remains a subject of debate. Over the past decade, numerous studies have reported on the incorporation of waste plastics into roads using diverse methodologies and raw materials, yet significant inconsistencies persist in this field. The question remains: what is the appropriate methodology for recycling waste plastics for road applications? Additionally, what is the appropriate type of waste plastic to be used in road applications? Furthermore, what environmental concerns could arise from the use of waste plastics in road applications?

Plastic Waste for Sustainable Asphalt Roads delves into the diverse processes and techniques for incorporating waste plastics into asphalt mixes. The book explores the material properties, methodologies, and effects of various approaches, as well as the combination of different polymers. It also provides valuable information on the compatibility between bitumen and plastics, final asphalt performance, and environmental challenges.

The utilization of waste plastics in roads offers several advantages, including reduced waste disposal and environmental impact. However, there are also concerns regarding the durability and performance of asphalt roads made from waste plastics. Proper selection and characterization of waste plastics, as well as innovative mixing techniques, are crucial to ensuring the longevity and safety of these roads.

In conclusion, Plastic Waste for Sustainable Asphalt Roads serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers interested in exploring the potential of waste plastics in road applications. By addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with this topic, the book contributes to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure.
