This research introduces an innovative approach to address the management of waste Baby Diapers (BD) and Face Masks (FM) in order mitigate environmental risks associated with indiscriminate disposal BD FM waste. The study focuses on leveraging utilization road pavement hot mix asphalt (HMA) enhance bitumen aggregate performance, respectively. involves direct incorporation 4% shredded during melting process, while varying percentages (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% relative weight) are utilized as coating through a process. inclusion enhanced modified bitumen's (MB) resistance permanent deformations under high temperatures compared conventional bitumen. Simultaneously, treatment significantly improved physical mechanical attributes aggregates. combination results densification, fostering robust bonding between aggregates paste. enhancement led 39% increase stability, 18% indirect tensile strength, 27% reduction deformations. Notably, there is remarkable 53% rut depth 33% resilient modulus. Ultimately, implementation enhancer modifier demonstrates potential achieve reductions 36% 61%, extends beyond enhancement, contributing broader societal mitigation adverse effects
