The Use of Environmentally Friendly Technologies in the Construction of Road Surfaces, with the Aim of the Rational Distribution of Natural Resources in Russia

The subject of research in this article is recycled plastics as a leading component in pavement construction. The aim of the work was to evaluate innovative methods of using nature-saving technologies in the construction of road surfaces, with the aim of rational distribution of natural resources. The advantages of asphalt pavement are cost-effectiveness, recycling, ease of maintenance, the ability to lay asphalt on the old layer, and good adhesion. Production of asphalt with the addition of plastic is 3% more expensive than usual, but its environmental friendliness and prospects fully compensate for the increased production costs.
