	<span style="line-height:1.5;">In this research, polyethylene terephthalate bottles
(PET) waste was added
to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to manufacture road bumps, as a technological
procedure for recycling this PET waste, in order to maintain a clean and sustainable
environment. Polyethylene terephthalate bottles were cut as grooved strips and
added to bump SBR batch with various percentages (0 - 100
pphr). Mechanical tests were perf</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">ormed before and after the addition of PET
waste including
tensile strength, hardness, and resilience. Nanoparticles of carbon black, zinc
oxide and sulfur were used, and compare the results with samples with micro
particles additions. The result shows that the developed and manufactured bump
SBR in this research conforms to the mechanical characteristics of the original
bump model especially with nanoparticles additives, and the best results
obtained with the nanoparticles additions.</span>
