The aim of this study is evaluating the interaction between several base pen grade asphalt binders (35/50, 50/70, 70/100, 160/220)\ and two different recycled plastics (EVA and HDPE), for a set of new polymer modified binders produced with different amounts\ of both recycled plastics. After analysing the results obtained for the several polymer modified binders evaluated in this study,\ including a commercial modified binder, it can be concluded that the new PMBs produced with the base bitumen 70/100 and 5\%\ of each recycled plastic (HDPE or EVA) results in binders with very good performance, similar to that of the commercial modified\ binder.
