TL;DR: In this paper, the use of waste plastic as modifier for aggregates (plastic coating aggregate) was investigated and the test results had demonstrated that there was an improvement in the properties of plastic coated aggregates.
Abstract: Rapid growth of plastics industries in Asia's emerging markets particularly in Malaysia, in one way, it raised expectations for everyday comforts, in the other way it also causes environmental issues. Plastic bottle for recycling can be found from the household waste stream, and most of them are made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). Recycling this plastic into another form might be one of the cheapest and rapid solutions. However, turning this plastic into some other usable form uses energy and this may not become a green waste management solution. In this research, PET is utilized to explore its potential prospects to upgrade asphalt mixture properties. This study investigates the use of waste plastic as modifier for aggregates (plastic coating aggregate). The type of plastic used in this study was waste PET plastic bottle. The shredded waste PET plastic (size 0.075mm to 1.18mm) was mixed with hot aggregate to form a thin layer on the surface of the aggregates. The properties of modified aggregate and unmodified aggregate was tested and compared. 1% and 2% of plastic by weight of aggregate were used to coat the aggregate. The plastic-coated aggregates are tested for impact value and crushing value. The test results had demonstrated that there was an improvement in the properties of plastic coated aggregates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse key issues in pavement energy harvesting and propose the best energy harvesting technique for Malaysia climate, the key issues were addressed accordingly and gaps existed in the field was presented.
Abstract: Rapid urbanization have increased the Malaysia economy’s dependence on imports of fossil fuels such as oil, petroleum and natural gas for energy output. Excessive use of fossil fuel contributes to high greenhouse gas emissions and this causes climate change and affect the ecological balance. Therefore, the energy generation through harvesting technology is much needed to improve the ecological balance. The process for energy harvesting begins with capturing and accumulating the wasted energy then storing it to be used later. According to a study conducted by the World Economic Forum, roads in Malaysia are among the best in the world on par with Korea and better than some of European countries. Malaysia’s road network that connect the states, district and villages are also grows every year for the convenience of the people. Good road structure throughout Malaysia can give the benefit to the country by used it as energy source. The energy sources that can be exploited from the pavement are solar radiation, mechanical energy generated from moving vehicles or pedestrians and geothermal energy. This paper analyse key issues in pavement energy harvesting and proposing the best energy harvesting technique for Malaysia climate. The keys issues were addressed accordingly and gaps existed in the field was presented. Outcomes of the review is brief in concise manner.
