Global population growth has led to an increase in the use of vehicles and industrial products, resulting in heightened production levels. This intensified production inevitably generates waste, which, when not managed effectively, contributes to environmental pollution and poses challenges for waste storage. In response to this issue, scientific research has focused on repurposing waste materials across various sectors. One such application involves utilizing ceramic waste in road construction. In this particular study, we explored the utilization of ceramic cake waste as an alternative aggregate material in asphalt concrete. Marshall Samples were prepared by incorporating ground ceramic waste at varying rates: 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of the aggregate. Our test results suggest that incorporating up to 20% of ceramic cake waste in asphalt concrete production is feasible. This approach has the potential to mitigate environmental and visual pollution, making it a promising avenue for further in-depth investigation.
