The utilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in the production of new bituminous mixtures is progressive step in this era where waste generation is at its peak level. RAP utilization helps in reduction of construction wastes and thus ensures sustainable use of virgin assets. The main intension of this literature is to find out the significance of consuming RAP and other additives which are generally considered as waste products from previous research papers. The present paper provides an overview of the previous works done regarding how the RAP is used with Used Mobile Engine Oil (UMEO) and Plastic waste to form a bituminous pavements. It can be concluded that utilization of RAP and additives can provide satisfactory results within limits. The present study also shows if calculated appropriately RAP additives mixes can be used to yield sustainable pavement when checked under various parameters like Marshall Stability and density. The present study is also concerned with the tests and techniques that must be followed to get maximum results, as suggested by various researchers.
