It’s estimated that there are tens of millions of miles of paved roads on Earth.
But where does all that asphalt go when it is no longer needed?
To recycling, of course! Find out more here.

What about the emissions of asphalt ? Actually driving an electric car doesn't make much difference, the way the road is made does.

Asphalt it's alot, but its not cost effective cause in 3yrs time you have to redoit again. It's a cheap and fast fix, but stupid.

Asphalt is dangerous?

No... The goal isnt making the best road possible when economics /repairable/recycle is a factor.

@tumelopolite6899 2 ай бұрын

there is a better way that would last us until forever probably,using concrete. the municipality/government wouldnt approve it though coz it’s too expensive.

Very interesting. How about using recycled vehicle tires? Is that being done? It would help landfills
