In Australia, we generate about 450,000 tonnes of used car tyres every year.
With 30% of this ending up in landfill or in stockpiles — this number is expected to increase by 10-15% by the year 2025.
The road construction sector is one of the best means of recycling rubber. One way of doing this is by using crumb rubber in the manufacturing of modified binders.
These specialty binders are then used to manufacture our crumb rubber asphalt pavements.
