Summary

This study investigates reusing plastic waste from food and drink packaging, recovered through a maceration process, as an additive modifier in asphalt road mixtures. The approach aims to address the challenge of recycling plastic that cannot be processed through conventional paper and aluminum recovery streams.

Antonio Roberto, Gledson Mesquita, Elena Romeo, Laura Bergamonti, Claudia Graiff and Gabriele Tebaldi Packaging waste originated from the food-drinking sector is obtained through the maceration process, which allows the separation of aluminum foil, paper, and plastic. Due to this process, paper and aluminum foil can be reused, while plastic must be disposed.
