N2 - Global civilization confronts the threat of global warming issues in terms of spatial and economic contexts for the growth of the planet. In addition, a specific ingredient, polyethene, is used by various factories, which has confronted the globe with a major emission problem as the material needs time to decompose. Moreover, because of COVID-19, the dumping of polymer-based facemasks has caused the tremendous problem of plastic waste worldwide. Non-degradable, causing waste and environmental damage, billions of plastic facemasks are. A specific substance, polyethene, which has worried the environment as it takes time to decompose, is used by producers. The epidemic culminated in the construction and construction industry taking steps, including the reuse of asphalt polyethene to be included in their projects, to avert the crisis. One of the possible solutions to mitigate the problem is to use treated polymer-modified asphalt for pavement, parking lots and concrete. However, existing knowledge and experience in the recycled polyethene building and construction industries is limited but increasing. The goal of the research was to review the recycling of polyethene asphalt waste in the building and construction industries. Overall, recycled polyethene waste has been found to have major benefits in improving productivity in manufacturing, facilities and the global environment.
