Plastic is considered one of the most significant industrial inventions of this era due to its excellent properties, which lend well to many manufacturing applications. These days, there are tons of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) waste products that are generated around the world. This waste presents a real environmental hazard because PET is not biodegradable. This paper delineates the physical and chemical properties of PET to justify its use as an additive and aggregate replacement in the manufacture of asphalt mixtures. Furthermore, discusses details of PET-modified asphalt mixture by a dry and wet process with sufficient information to better understand the mixture. Several critical matters are investigated, such as asphalt modification to increase resistance to fatigue, rutting deformation, and moisture sensitivity. These results are important for determining the factors that significantly improve pavement mixture characteristics. The findings show that the addition of PET to asphalt mixtures yielded very promising results. PET enhanced the mechanical properties, the durability, and the long-term sustainability of the pavement. Finally, using PET waste as an additive in asphalt mixtures could serve as an environmentally friendly method to dispose of PET waste while simultaneously producing high-quality pavements.

“…Plastic waste can be used as a replacement aggregate in either coarse or fine forms. Mohammed (2017) observed that after adding 5% PET waste, the compressive strength of concrete significantly decreases even after the classification of the PET waste particles. He then concluded that using concrete with up to 15% PET waste is safe for the fabrication of reinforced concrete beams.…”

Plastic has become one of the most widely manufactured materials in the world and an indispensable part of everyday life. However, a large amount of plastic waste needs to be recycled to protect the environment. One way of recycling is to use such waste as a raw material substitute. This paper evaluates the thermal and mechanical performance of eco-friendly mortars containing 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles as partial replacements for sand. Several experiments were conducted to evaluate the thermal properties (i.e. thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity), compressive strength, density, workability and ultrasonic pulse velocity of these mortars. Results show that replacing sand with recycled PET in cement-based mortars reduces their thermal conductivity, thereby highlighting the potential use of these mortars as energy-efficient and environmentally friendly construction materials.
