Research and development of low-temperature bituminous mixes manufactured by foaming bitumen and waste plastics
Aim of the project
To develop new working formulas for bituminous mixtures by incorporating polymeric plastic waste, the management of which is currently an environmental problem, and to lower the manufacturing temperature by means of bitumen foaming techniques, thus achieving energy and economic savings without reducing the mechanical performance and durability of these mixtures.
The project is financed with a LOST FUND GRANT of 100% of the eligible investment or expenditure, amounting to 72,851.50 Euros, co-financed by 80%, (i.e. up to 58,281.20 Euros), by the ERDF Global Grant of which the Instituto de Fomento de la Región de Murcia is the intermediary body.
