The main objective of this research is to evaluate the ability of using recycled plastic waste as a binder material with asphaltic concrete to improve the performance and service life of the road. As bitumen is used as a binder material in asphaltic concrete which is very costly. We can reducethis cost by replacing bitumen (up to some extent) with plastic. There are many types of plastic but here we used only High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. NHA class B aggregates were used in this research with varying admixture (2, 4, and 6%) and bitumen content (3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5,5.5, and 6%). For this purpose Marsha Stability and Flow test and ITS test was carried out whichshowed different results for different percentages of admixture.
