Porous Asphalt mixture is an asphalt mixture that uses open graded which has a functions as a drainage so that rainwater will not generate aqua planning on the road surface. The purpose of this study was to analyse the volumetric of modified asbuton with plastic waste and with no plastic waste of a mixture of porous asphalt. In this study we used asphalt porous specimens with dimensions of 10 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. The specimens were made in 3 variations: 0% plastic, 0.5% 1.0% plastic with 9 specimens. This study uses PET (Polyethylene Terephlate) and laboratory experimental-based, where the gradation of porous asphalt mixture refers to the specifications of the Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (2008). The results of this study describe that there was an increase in VIM value due to the addition of PET plastic waste which is plastic is a replacement of aggregate total weight.
