A Review on utilizing waste Polyethylene Terephthalate in composite bituminous mixes
Abstract: Rapid ascend in population growth has led to a corresponding rise in annual Polyethylene Terephthalate waste and others Polymers production. This underscores the urgent necessity to reuse discarded polymers like Polyethylene Terephthalate, Poly Vinyl Acetate, Low Density Polyethylene etc. When discarded polymers isn't recycled, it typically finds its way into landfills, contributes to oceanic garbage patches, or undergoes incineration, each of which poses distinct environmental challenges. Moreover, controlling pollution from …
