Tarmac hoping to tackle tyre graveyards

摘要

A NEW road surface using recycled tyres is being trialled on the Ml motorway by Highways England. If successful, it is hoped that this new method will take a huge step towards tackling the millions of disused tyres piling up every year. A section of road between junctions 23 and 22 on the southbound carriageway of the M1 near Leicester has been laid with the new surface, which has been developed by Tarmac. Highways England is funding trials into the new asphalt mix to see if this environmentally sound innovation could be the way forward for future road surfaces.
