Crumbed Rubber Asphalt Trial Contact Us

Bentleigh East, VIC

Diverting > 50 million ‘end of life’ tyres each year, away from landfill in Australia is becoming a reality with new recycling and reuse initiatives underway. One such process is shredding and granulating tyres, mixing the rubber ‘crumbs’ with asphalt and laying the mix on roads, roundabouts and general road patching.

Bitu-mill’s Asphalt Paving Division were selected by Department of Transport, to lay crumbed rubber asphalt in several locations as part of their crumbed rubber asphalt long term durability testing program.
