How to mix old tires and building rubble to make sustainable roads: New material combines recycled concrete aggregate and rubber in a mix precisely optimised to meet road engineering safety standards – Science Daily
A recycled blend brings together construction and tire waste, to deliver both environmental and engineering benefits. The material offers a zero-waste solution to a massive environmental challenge – construction, renovation and demolition account for about 50…
Researchers have shown how a blend of old tires and building rubble could be used as a sustainable road-making material, in a zero-waste solution to boost recycling and support the circular economy.Construction, renovation and demolition account for about half the waste produced annually worldwide, while around 1 billion scrap tires are generated globally each year.
The new material, developed by researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, is the first to combine recycled rubble and…
