Incorporating plastic waste into bitumen enhances mechanical properties like increased stiffness and rutting resistance. It reduces environmental impact by recycling plastics, decreasing landfill waste, and lowering the demand for virgin materials. However, proper processing is essential to ensure compatibility and prevent issues like segregation or reduced workability.
