ALTERPAVE - USE OF END-OF-LIFE MATERIALS, WASTE AND ALTERNATIVE BINDERS AS USEFUL RAW MATERIALS FOR PAVEMENTS CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION (www.alterpave.eu)
The overall aim of the ALTERPAVE project is the demonstration of an innovative and integrated approach for the sustainable construction of roads considering the whole life cycle of the infrastructure by:
-
Enhancing the resource and cost efficient use of alternative materials,
-
Ensuring the recyclability of the roads developed with the alternative green materials (Design for Reuse) and
-
Implementing a “circular economy approach” by taking advantage of the actual by-products and waste produced by the regional industries.
The project will focus on two main components of the pavements. On the one hand, it will look for the replacement of the virgin aggregates by recycled materials and by products. On the other hand, alternative green binders such as waste engine oils and bio-fluxing agents will be integrated in the mixes to reduce the use of petroleum-based binders.
