Over the past decade, utilization of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in aerospace, automotive, and wind energy sectors has led to generation of huge quantities of composite wastes (CW) at their end-of-life. This poses serious threat to environment and society, calling for identification of eco-friendly and cost-effective strategies to recycle CW into various applications. Therefore, the objective of this study was to recycle CFRP-CW and GFRP-CW in pervious concrete (PC) paving mixtures. The scope of the effort included addition of CFRP-CW and GFRP-CW into the PC mix at 0.33, 0.65, and 1% by volume to investigate their effects on hydrological and mechanical characteristics of the material. For GFRP-CW, porosity and permeability increased at the highest dosage by a magnitude of about 1 and 8.5%, respectively. However, for CFRP-CW, 1% increment in porosity was recorded at the lowest dosage, while permeability decreased by about 5–10% at all dosages. Furthermore, compressive strength increased by about 10–23% at all dosages of GFRP-CW, whereas it reduced by about 5% at lowest and highest dosages of CFRP-CW. Based on the test results, the optimum dosages for GFRP-CW and CFRP-CW were found to be 0.33 and 0.65%, respectively. Further, the properties of CW modified PC mixtures were within the general range for PC, reported in the literature. This study demonstrated that utilization of CFRP-CW and GFRP-CW in PC would serve as an environment-friendly and cost-effective strategy to recycle the CW in paving applications. Also, it is envisaged that this study will help formulate a framework for development of CW reinforced pavement materials from a sustainability perspective.
