Rubber Modified Asphalt - recycled tyres in roads

Tarmacs rubber modified asphalts enable old tyres to be converted into new roads and footpaths. Rubber modified asphalts incorporate the rubber from one tyre per tonne of asphalt, giving the potential to recycle about 500 tyres per kilometre of road, depending on layer thickness. Tarmac rubber modified asphalts incorporate proven ULTILOW warm mix asphalt technology as standard. Manufactured and laid at lower temperatures than conventional hot mix asphalts, they result in lower CO emissions during production. Site safety is also improved from reduced fumes and steam on site and a reduced risk of burns. The typical carbon footprint of Tarmacs rubber modified SMA solution will be around 8% lower than the equivalent conventional SMA.
