The disposal of huge amount of discarded waste material like steel powder, steel fibre, plastic, polythene bags, bottles, rubber tyres, glass waste, plastic granulates, etc., which are generated in huge quantity is a challenge as it causes environmental hazards on their disposal. The possibility of using all these waste materials as modifier for the production of bituminous concrete is justified. Research studies revealed that consumption of waste product in construction or production processes minimizes the adverse effect on environment resulting from their production. To simulate with the field conditions, Marshal Stability test was performed on the samples prepared by partially replacing Optimum Bitumen Content with waste materials. The laboratory testing results indicate that by using waste materials, bituminous concrete of required strength and density can be obtained and an environment friendly green pavement can be prepared with less material cost. All these materials can be used as cost-effective filler in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA).
