In line with the global pursuit of rendering construction materials reusable and more sustainable, the study of waste plastic modified asphalt represent an innovative research field. In addition to the use of reclaimed asphalt pavements to produce new roads, asphalt modifiers such as waste-plastic provide the possibility to recycle and reuse materials which are otherwise not biodegradable. Moreover, the introduction of plastics in hot mix asphalt mixtures has shown improved mechanical properties of pavements, particularly for what concerns stiffness and resistance to cracking. From the economical point of view, the addition of plastics reduces in turn the bitumen content in asphalt mixtures, thus decreasing the total cost of mixture materials as bitumen comes with an elevated price tag.  This study deals with the reuse of recycled polymers obtained from the processing of plastic waste in asphalt mixtures for road paving.
