  • Abstract:
  • As global challenges such as plastic pollution and urban storm water management intensify, innovative and sustainable solutions are increasingly vital. This study explores a groundbreaking approach to road construction by integrating recycled plastic and pervious concrete. By embedding recycled plastic waste into asphalt, we address plastic pollution, enhance the longevity of roads, and reduce maintenance expenses. The inclusion of pervious concrete, which allows water to permeate through its surface, effectively reduces urban runoff and supports groundwater recharge. The research aims to assess the structural strength, water permeability, and environmental impact of roads built using plastic-modified asphalt and pervious concrete. Laboratory experiments and field trials will evaluate the performance of these materials under different conditions, including varying traffic loads and rainfall. Additionally, life cycle analyses will be carried out to measure the environmental advantages and potential drawbacks of this innovative construction technique in comparison to traditional methods. The outcomes of this research could transform road infrastructure, offering a sustainable solution to plastic waste and urban water management while enhancing the environmental resilience of cities.
