Sydney paves the way for eco-friendly roads using recycled tire rubber
According to Bayside Council (Sydney), in June 2023, Bayside conducted a trial using recycled rubber from end-of-life car and truck tires in the asphalt mix for the first road on Willison Road, Bexley, Sydney. The roadwork resulted in an impressive appearance and sturdy performance. This paving initiative, involving 12 Sydney Councils, aims to achieve significant environmental and economic benefits by incorporating recycled tire rubber in road construction. An initial 3,600 standard passenger car tires or 2,400 car and 490 truck tires combined will be used in the crumbed rubber asphalt trial project, involving 12 Councils in the region.
