Over the last decade, air pollution in the Republic of Albania is in a crucial moment and an actual problem that effect on human health. Many of the problems has been noticed in the industrial cities and urban zones where the number of industries and road transport has grown rapidly. One of the largest environmental impacts comes from the landfilled and burning of the waste tires. This problem has made the government to support some companies for building up the recycling industry of the waste tire in Albania. The Recycled Tire Rubber have been used in many fields such as agricultural uses, sport applications, civil engineering, rubber modified asphalt applications etc. Therefore, different parts of the world have used rubber modified asphalts where the benefits were being more widely experienced and recognized. Based on it, our paper will be focused on the asphalt mixtures produced with Recycled Tire Rubber Modified Bitumen’s (RTR-MBs). The analysis of penetration, softening point and Marshall Test will be described in this paper. Our proposal can reduce environmental impact from the waste tires and improving the quality of the road constructions in Albania.
