Split Mastic Asphalt (SMA) is a type of road pavement that maximizes the interaction and contact between coarse aggregate fractions in the pavement mixtures. The use of waste in asphalt mixture especially in Split Mastic Asphalt pavement structure is one way to manage the pollution in natural environment as it can reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources. This literature study discusses the utilization of 14 types of wastes from various sectors such as the industrial, agriculture, municipal, mining and construction, as filler in asphalt mixtures. This study investigates the physio-chemical properties of these underutilized solid wastes and compares their effect on the performance of the pavement mixtures. This literature study aims to motivate researchers working on sustainable engineering and serves as a guide for use of new fillers in construction industry as well as highlighting areas that may require further research and refinement. In conclusion, the study summarized that the use of waste materials as fillers in the Split Mastic Asphalt pavement in optimal levels will result in production of sustainable asphalt mixtures.
