More and more “green” roads in Italy: about 600 km of roads have been resurfaced with asphalts made with recycled rubber from End-of-Life tyres
The use of modified asphalts is growing. This year it has recorded a +63% compared to 2019. Modified asphalts resist potholes, they last 3 times longer than traditional asphalts, and they reduce noise and maintenance costs. All this using recycled materials.
When an innovation brings concrete benefits, its spreading knows no limits. And the figures confirm it. According to the data supplied by Ecopneus, as of today, about 600 km/lanes of roads have been created with the use of asphalts modified with rubber recycled from ELTs in Italy – a distance that could cover the distance from Rome to Milan.
