SWOT ANALYSIS FOR THE CASE STUDY OF” IMPROVEMENT IN LOW TEMPERATURE-

PROPERTIES OF RECLAIMED ASPHALT BINDER USING WASTE ENGINE OIL”

I feel it’s important to comment and campaign about issues which lead to less contamination and better-

quality of life thru recycling. This research shows its strength by having a stand to what and how recycling

of Waste Engine oil will not just be beneficial on the property of the asphalt to be restored that helps the

industry but also it does help the environment. As per my research waste engine oil is one of the major

pollutants of the world’s drinking water sources. Research, to be specific is evidence based by being

supported by factual data gathered from diff develop countries which shows how many asphalts is milled, to

better realize the quantity and how many asphalts will be recycled that will help conserve natural resources

used as raw material. To comment also on the weakness of the study itself, the study didn’t specify if the

waste engine oil will be refined or can be use as it is which, we cannot assess the cost of using it, but

nonetheless I guess that can be negligible given the benefit.

Some opportunities can be noted cited as: cleaner environment and waste reduction, to established a

health and safety guidelines for using Waste Engine Oil and additional organizational knowledge and

explore more since benefits of using is very impressive.

But given those strengths and opportunities, it should noted that used oil or waste engine oil to be specific,

is insoluble, persistent, and can contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals which comes with a safety and

health threats either during construction or after, so further studies on this and its general effect years after

should be measure and prevented.
