Enhanced Acceptance Specification of Asphalt Binder to Drive Sustainability in the Paving Industry

Testing small amounts of extracted and recovered asphalt binder as used in construction allows for the acceptance of materials in accordance with traffic and climate requirements. This approach facilitates the sustainable use of resources and thus prepares the paving industry for the true circular e...
