Multilayer plastic waste is a type of waste that continue to grow rapidly due to people’s consumption styles and is one of the difficult wastes to recycle because of its properties. The accumulation and indiscriminate disposal of waste can pose a potential risk of environmental problems. One solution to the problem is to process the plastic wastes. Plastic waste processing can be done by making Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB). However, mixing plastic with bitumen requires an intermediary because of the different polarity properties. Lignin which is a waste product of the pulp industry can be used as a coupling agent because it has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. This study aims to learn the effects of adding multilayer plastic waste with lignin as a coupling agent on the visual morphology and physical properties of Polymer Modified Bitumen. PMB was made by hot melt mixing method at 180°C for 30 minutes. The independent variable used was the variation of the plastic multilayer content which is 3%, 4%, and 5%. Morphological observations will be carried out visually and for physical properties will be tested for penetration, ductility, and softening point. The results of the observations showed that the addition of multilayer plastic caused agglomeration on the surface of the sample which increased the hardness and softening point but decreased the ductility value."

Plastic packaging waste is one of the most discarded plastic product in Indonesia and it is very rarely got reused. Indonesia also produces so much paper, which create waste called black liquor that contains lignin. Hence, new effort is needed to reduce these waste problems, one of them is to use multilayer plastic waste in the form of instant noodle package and lignin from black liquor as modifier for bitumen, creating polymer modified bitumen (PMB). Bitumen is modified by multilayer plastic waste with the help from lignin as compatibilizer. PMB is made using hot melt mixing method, with the addition of multilayer plastic waste as many as 4 wt% and lignin varied from 0,1 wt%; 0,3 wt%; to 0,5 wt%. The process is done with varied temperature, from 170°C, 180°C, to 190°C for 30 minutes. Samples then tested to see their content, morphology, and thermal property by using FTIR, SEM, and TGA. The result of these tests concluded that the addition of lignin to PMB increase the thermal stability of the mixture and the increasing of process temperature can increase plastic waste distribution quality in the mixture."

"[ ABSTRAK Bitumen merupakan bahan penyusun aspal serta memiliki fungsi sebagai binder pada aspal. Sifat dari bitumen mempengaruhi kinerja dari aspal. Aspal merupakan material yang biasanya digunakan untuk infrastruktur seperti aplikasi pada jalanan. Aspal merupakan material yang relatif murah namun aspal memiliki beberapa kelemahan karena sifat material penyusunya dan kondisi lingkungan sehingga dibutuhkan langkah untuk menangani kelemahan pada aspal tersebut. Salah satu metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk menangani masalah tersebut adalah melakukan pencampuran bitumen (bahan pengikat pada aspal) dengan limbah plastik kresek (high density polyehtylene atau polypropylene) untuk membentuk suatu komposit Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) sehingga perfoma dari aspal dapat meningkat dan membuat limbah plastik lebih berguna kembali. Percobaan ini mengunakan 2 buah jenis plastik kresek dan 3 buah variabel berbeda yaitu konsentrasi plastik kresek, waktu, dan temperatur pencampuran. Plastik kresek yang digunakan adalah HDPE dan PP. Konsentrasi High Density Polyethyelene (HDPE) yang digunakan adalah 4%, 5%, dan 6%, konsentrasi Polypropylene (PP) yang digunakan adalah 3%, 4%, dan 5%, waktu pencampuran yang digunakan adalah 15, 30, dan 45 menit, dan juga temperatur pencampuran yang digunakan adalah 140oC sampai dengan 200oC. Metode pencampuran basah digunakan untuk mencampurkan kedua material tersebut.
