Abstract


This study aims to analyze the effect of adding AirUM plastic bottle waste as a partial asphalt substitute on the Marshall characteristics and volumetric properties of asphalt concrete (Asphalt Concrete–Wearing Course/AC-WC). The use of AirUM plastic bottles, consisting of 75% Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and 25% High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), represents an innovative approach to promoting sustainable development and reducing plastic waste within the campus environment. The research employed a laboratory experimental method referring to SNI 06-2489-1991 and the 2018 Indonesian Highway Specification (Revised 2). Variations of plastic waste content were 6%, 8%, and 10% by asphalt weight. The Marshall test was conducted to evaluate stability, flow, Marshall Quotient (MQ), Voids in Mix (VIM), Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), and Voids Filled with Bitumen (VFB) parameters. The results show that adding AirUM plastic waste significantly affects the mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures. Plastic content of 6–8% provides the most optimal performance with stability values of 2378–2430.5 kg, flow values of 3.36–3.97 mm, and Marshall Quotient of 707.73–612.21 kg/mm, all meeting the Indonesian highway standards. At 10%, the mixture exhibits higher stability but becomes overly plastic, resulting in excessive flow values. Overall, incorporating AirUM plastic bottle waste as a modifier in asphalt mixtures enhances structural strength and deformation resistance, while supporting the development of environmentally sustainable materials for future road infrastructure.
