Bio-bitumen trial removing the roadblock for a greener future

A new trial is laying the groundwork for a greener road network through the use of bio-bitumen.
Transport for NSW recently laid the bio-bitumen asphalt, (PDF, 84.89 KB) also known as ECO5, on a section of road at Raymond Terrace as part of the trial.
The bio-bitumen uses repurposed materials including recycled crushed glass, asphalt and crumbed rubber derived from end-of-life tyres, allowing for a lower carbon output per tonne of asphalt and fewer emissions.
