A significant quantity of debris from building and demolition is produced on a yearly basis in every region of the globe. The environmentally conscious and economically astute management of the debris left behind from building construction and demolition projects is a pressing subject. There have been several efforts in the past that have been made to utilize the debris from building and demolition in construction sector. These efforts have been made to either replace natural aggregates with coarse or fine aggregates using construction and demolition debris. Recent attempts have been made by the asphalt pavement industry to include trash from building and demolition in the form of recycled concrete aggregates. These recycled aggregates are meant to take the place of natural or virgin aggregates. This article provides a synopsis of the research that has been conducted by the researchers and published in a variety of countries throughout the globe. The current review article organizes the available research into categories according to the tests that were conducted as well as the significant results that were reported. In addition, a summary of the life cycle analysis and a forecast of the characteristics of asphalt mixes incorporating recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) is also included in this paper. In addition to the conclusion, this article also presents the research voids that still need to be filled.
