STANDARD
• Malaysia is ranked 8th highest,solid waste producing country.
• Out of that solid waste 13% is plastic waste & 57% is mishandled (Jambeck,
2015). JKR Standard:
• In Kuching 20% is plastic waste out of solid waste. (Hung Huong 2003). Crumb Rubber Study (Bakheit & Xiaoming,2019) • Aggregates gradation and Bitumen contents.
