Thus, the main aim of this study is to minimize the use of natural resources through the reuse of three waste materials: HDPE, mo-tor oil and RAP. Different amounts of waste motor oil and HDPE were added to an asphalt binder with 50\% aged bitumen. The best solutions to produce the modified binders (4.5 to 5.0\% HDPE and 10 \% waste motor oil) performed as well as a conventional bitumen although they only used 35 \% of virgin bitumen. Asphalt mixtures with 50 \% RAP were produced with the selected modified binders, improving some characteristics in comparison with conventional asphalt mixtures. In conclusion, these wastes can revive in new asphalt mixtures.}, keywords = {novel asphalt mixtures, oil, plastic, RAP, Wastes}, isbn = {978-1-138-02882-1}, author = {Fernandes, S. and Costa, L. M.
