Unprecedented innovation in the road infrastructure industry!
The FPInnovations organization, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTSM) and the Eurovia firm, is exploring a remarkable breakthrough for our roads.
🌱 The idea: Use up to 15% forest residues in our asphalt mixes to create what’s known as “bio-asphalt”. This bioproduct has the potential to partially replace petroleum-based bitumen in traditional asphalt, thus offering a more environmentally friendly option.
📈 The results: Early indicators show that this innovation doesn’t just affect the carbon footprint, but might also improve the durability of our roads in the context of climate change.
The future of our roads might very well be found in our forests. Using our natural resources in an innovative and sustainable way is more than a necessity, it’s our responsibility.
