This webinar provides an overview of what the implementation pathway looks like for crumb rubber modified binder in chip seals and asphalt.
It also looks at what the WBCSD waste hierarchy for tyres means in an Aotearoa New Zealand context, and how the use of recycled rubber materials in roading aligns with the ‘public value’ outcomes in government procurement rules.
