Plastics are widely utilised materials that play an important part in everyday life. The use of this non-biodegradable commodity is fast expanding, as is the accumulation of plastic garbage. Due to the paucity of landfills, disposing of waste plastic is a severe challenge in the current circumstances. Poor disposal procedures have made them a major source of environmental and natural disasters. The goal of this study is to determine the viability of employing recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and recycled Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) as bitumen modifiers to improve the properties of the resulting binder for use in Bituminous Concrete (BC) mix building. The modified mix was made by replacing part of the bitumen binder with varied quantities of HDPE (4%, 6%, respectively) and PET (6 percent , 8 percent ). The dry technique, i.e. plastic coating of aggregates, was used to combine HDPE and PET. The Marshall Stability of HDPE and PET modified bituminous concrete is significantly increased, up to 52 percent. The addition of HDPE and PET in the mix has a brilliant good influence on the qualities of BC mix, and it can increase the re-use of plastic waste, according to test results.
