As someone who has worked with asphalt, we have tried using different mixes with plastic, glass, shredded rubber and printer ink cartridges in it, hard part is organising it with the batch plants, it only tends to happen when they decide to do trials with it, otherwise it's just the normal emulsion, stone and sand mix. The laying and finish seems relatively the same across all the mixes, time will tell with the time it takes to break down and has to be replaced
