ASPHALT MIXTURE USING RECYCLED PLASTIC

The use of recycled plastic in asphalt mixtures represents a significant innovation in the construction and road industry. This practice combines the need for sustainable development with the need to improve the quality of pavements and reduce the environmental impact of constructions. There are several significant benefits that arise from the use of recycled plastic in asphalt mixtures:

 

 

  1. Environmental Sustainability:
  • Reduces the amount of plastic waste ending up in landfills.
  • Conserves natural resources and reduces energy consumption.
  1. Technical Improvement:
  • Increases the pavement’s resistance to mechanical loads such as vehicle traffic and temperature variations.
  • Enhances the pavement’s durability.
  1. Economic Efficiency:
  • Lowers the cost of construction and maintenance of pavements while increasing their lifespan.
  • Reduces the cost of plastic waste disposal and the need for new raw material extraction.

 

The technology of producing asphalt mixtures with recycled plastic is constantly evolving, aiming to improve their quality and performance over time. This approach represents a step towards a more sustainable and green construction industry.”
