Abstract
Nowadays there is concern about the environment, and ecology has ended up a worldwide issue and is putting nearly each industry accentuation on the use of eco-friendly materials, technology, etc. The road construction field is one of them. There has been a colossal increment in the cost of bituminous asphaltic material. As we all know, “day-by-day the mines are vanishing with broad mining work and as recycling”. Recycling materials can be utilized in a few development areas as well as in road development. In expansion, much consideration is centered on the utilization of recovered black-top asphalt material in modern asphalt pavement design. So, reusing is a choice by which there are more concerns. As coordinated to moderate and decrease characteristic assets, natural effect can be of utilizing new asphalt binders. One more major issue on earth is plastic waste. Plastic waste has many bad impacts on soil, surface water, groundwater, and air (due to burning). Scientists and researchers are doing a major concentration on this area to use/reduce plastic waste. Government had banned single-use plastic. Now being fashion on packed food, online food ordering, and packed drinking water bottles. Some packages of food as necessary to protect from moisture and time duration cannot be stopped instantly. Daily plastic waste collection is in millions of tones which is a major issue to handle and dispose of municipals. Plastic waste is now used in road construction at various methods and stages. Utilizing reclaimed asphalt pavement and the use of waste plastic in road construction can solve many environmental problems to a great extent.
