Abstract

This study focuses on enhancing the performance and sustainability of asphalt materials in road construction by recycling High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Polypropylene (PP) and lignin as additives in bitumen. The Hot Melt Mixing method is employed to investigate the impact of different concentrations of HDPE, PP, and lignin on bitumen properties. Key properties such as ductility, penetration, softening point, and thermal behavior are analyzed, providing valuable insights into the potential of these additives to enhance bitumen performance. The findings demonstrate that higher concentrations of HDPE and PP result in reduced penetration depth, indicating increased hardness. The addition of lignin enhances penetration depth, contributing to the flexibility and performance of the bitumen mixture. Moreover, thermal analysis offers valuable information about the thermal behavior and stability of the bitumen-plastic-lignin blends, shedding light on their compatibility and interactions. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts in road construction and pavement engineering by exploring sustainable solutions that not only address plastic waste challenges but also improve the performance and durability of bituminous materials, making it a crucial step towards environmentally responsible and long-lasting asphalt pavements.

Abstract

Multilayer plastic waste, particularly from the bottled water industry, represents a persistent challenge in current plastic waste management strategies. Simultaneously, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) waste, though often discarded, possesses significant potential for sustainable material development. This study explores the utilization of both waste streams as raw materials for biocomposite fabrication, thereby addressing environmental concerns while reducing dependence on virgin polymer resources. The multilayer lid film waste (comprising PET, LDPE, and LLDPE) and OPEFB fibers were processed through crushing, sieving, and extrusion to form pellets with varying OPEFB fiber loadings (30%, 50%, and 70% by weight). The resulting biocomposite was characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM, density measurements, and tensile testing. The biocomposite containing 70% OPEFB exhibited the slowest degradation but also the lowest crystallinity (10.84%). In contrast, the 30% OPEFB composite showed the highest tensile strength (16.86 MPa) and elongation at break (3.23 MPa). SEM analysis revealed that a higher fiber content increased the porosity within the composite matrix. These findings demonstrate the potential of combining multilayer plastic and OPEFB waste for biocomposite applications, contributing to both material innovation and environmental sustainability.
