The rapid increase in Tetra Pak waste has posed significant environmental challenges, including rising water pollution and unsustainable resource consumption. To address
these issues, this study explores the potential of recycling Tetra Pak, a non-biodegradable
packaging material, into asphalt roof shingles as an innovative, sustainable, and durable
roofing solution. The research investigates the mechanical properties of the shingles, focusing on their impact resistance and flexural strength. Five mix design ratios were
developed (40:45:10:5, 45:40:10:5, 50:35:10:5, 55:30:10:5, and 60:25:10:5) using Tetra
Pak, asphalt, limestone, and silica sand, with three replicates for each mix. Mechanical
tests, including Impact Resistance (ASTM D5420-21) and Flexural Strength (ASTM
C120), were conducted to assess durability. Results revealed that Mix 3 (50% Tetra Pak, 35% asphalt, 10% limestone, and 5% sand) demonstrated the highest impact resistance, tolerating a drop height of 120 cm, while Mix 5 showed superior flexural strength of 0.33
MPa. Additionally, a panel of 30 experts, including architects, civil engineers, and
professors, evaluated the shingles' acceptability based on six criteria: Aesthetic, Workability, Durability, Economy, Safety, and Marketability. Using the TUP Evaluation
Form, the shingles achieved an overall "Very Acceptable" rating, with an average score
of 4.84. This study highlights the viability of Tetra Pak-based asphalt shingles as an eco-
friendly alternative roofing material. While results are promising, further research is
recommended to enhance the product’s long-term durability and weather resistance. By
integrating recycled materials, this innovation contributes to
