From Waste to Strength: A Comprehensive Review of E-Waste Utilization in Flexible Pavements

Abstract

Many road authorities have been concerned about the early deterioration
of pavements, including that caused by potholes, roughness, cracks,
among other difficulties, which has led to poor road performance and
a shorter life for the roads. The rubbish created by electronics, plastics,
rubber, other materials, on the other hand, is constantly expanding.
Electronic waste is defined as loosely abandoned, surplus, out-of-date,
damaged, or electrical items. Waste materials including keyboards,
mouse, motherboards, cell phones, plastic bottles, polymers, cups,
used tyres can be recycled by being ground into a powder, combined
with crushers, coated with aggregate, or added to the concrete-making
process. . Electronic waste is now more readily available than ever
before because they are becoming a need in the life of the majority
of people. The amount of electronic waste produced in our nation is
increasing at a startling rate. E waste must be disposed of annually
in large quantities (tonnes). The only choices for disposal currently
accessible if they are not recycled are landfill or incinerator disposal.
Both of these processes have an impact on the environment in some
way. This review article discusses many writing pieces on E garbage
that have been written by various authors.
