Plastics, especially low-density polyethylene (LDPE), is now being the most effective pollutant on Earth due to its non-degradability and increased demand. The reduced reusability and recyclability of these plastics makes more hurdle in proper disposal and treatment of these wastes. Thus, this problem can be managed only by implementing an alternative method of recycling these polymeric compounds for other beneficial purposes. The aim of this study is to suggest an ecofriendly approach of disposing these wastes by using it as bitumen modifiers. The effect of LDPE on bitumen has been analyzed by different wt% of LDPE from 2 to 8 wt% and was compared with pristine bitumen. Characterization tests mainly viscosity test, standard penetration and softening point, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and rheological analysis were done in order to examine the effect of LDPE addition to bitumen. The results show rise in thermal stability and deformation resistance for modified bitumen. However, a rise in polymer content above an optimum limit is not preferable. LDPE addition of 4% shows a better performance and is suggestable for employing in road sectors.
