Research has demonstrated that asphalt pavements can be a strategic destination for some of the major streams of waste materials around the globe, such as scrap tires and plastics. Ground tire rubber (GTR) from scrap tires has been used in asphalt pavements since the 1960s but has yet to approach its full potential in relation to market adoption. The heightened restrictions imposed by China in relation to waste stream contamination in 2018 have catalyzed research on incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics into asphalt pavements. A field demonstration project was carried out in Columbia, MO to evaluate modern recycled plastic and GTR additives in an asphalt pavement overlay. The demonstration focused on dry-process modification, which requires minimal alterations to an existing asphalt plant and allows a higher amount of recyclates to be utilized. The project was also designed to assist in the Missouri Department of Transportation’s early roll-out of balanced mix design asphalt design and quality assurance specifications. The results of the study indicated the viability of dry-process GTR and PCR plastic additives used with neat (unmodified) asphalt binder as an alternative to binders modified with virgin polymers, chemical treatments, or both, in a wet process. The results of the study also suggest the viability of hybrid wet polymer-modified binder with dry-process PCR plastic as a greener alternative to binders modified with virgin polymers, chemical treatments, or both. Future studies will be needed to examine additional PCR plastic streams, especially mixed polymer streams.
