Currently worldwide, many nations are paying attention to improving and optimizing the use of recycled materials in the construction sector. Rising raw materials prices and increasing environmental awareness have become very important worldwide. In highway engineering or the construction of this type of mobility structures, waste materials are being used for the design and construction of pavements. Green, energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, and significantly reduced build time are the main drivers of this article. However, social and legal aspects have prevented this type of procedure from being implemented successfully in most developing countries. This article analyzes and describes the use of waste or recycled materials in the construction industry for the design and construction of rigid pavements.
