#FastFacts: Old Tires, New Roads

Did you know that discarded tires are paving the way for sustainable infrastructure? Using recycled tires in asphalt is an innovative approach that benefits both the environment and our roadways.

✅ Environmental Impact: Incorporating rubber from used tires into asphalt helps reduce landfill waste and promotes recycling on a large scale.

✅ Durability Boost: Studies show that rubberized asphalt can improve road performance, offering enhanced flexibility and resistance to cracking, which reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

✅ Cost Efficiency: While initially more expensive to produce, rubberized asphalt can save on long-term costs by extending the lifespan of roads and decreasing repair needs.

This innovation has been evolving for decades, but advancements in materials science are making it even more viable. At ICC-IMS, we are inspired by solutions that balance sustainability with performance.
