This approach aims to reduce the consumption of natural resources in the production of bituminous mixtures, a key component in road construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Main results and technological developments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study, focused on identifying high-potential waste in the Region of Murcia, has resulted in innovative solutions in the form of bio-additives and artificial aggregates. Among the main conclusions are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Essential aggregates for asphalt mixes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The synthesised aggregates represent between 90% and 95% of the asphalt mixes and are essential to resist traffic loads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RAP has demonstrated outstanding performance for heavy duty wearing course applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steel slag has been used in the manufacture of SMA mixtures, making them more durable and resistant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Development of innovative bio-additives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;<span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">Forestry and agricultural cellulosic residues as well as rubber particles from end-of-life tyres (ELTs) have been studied.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Although some additives proved unsuitable, the progress achieved opens up new possibilities to improve the rheological behaviour and increase the sustainability of the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Impact and prospects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIOREPAV represents a milestone in the transition towards more sustainable construction methods, marking a significant advance over traditional practices. By harnessing recycled and bio-additive materials, this project not only reduces dependence on natural resources, but also promotes the circular economy and innovation in the road infrastructure sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These results lay the foundation for future research and practical applications to enhance sustainability in the pavement industry, responding to today's environmental and functional challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Project\/Programme is financed up to 80% with resources from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) allocated to the Instituto de Fomento de la Regi\u00f3n de Murcia under the Global Grant by Commission Decision C (2015)3408, approving the Operational Programme for Community intervention ERDF 2014-2020 under the Investment for growth and jobs objective, in the Autonomous Community of Murcia, as a Qualified Region in transition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El proyecto BIOREPAV, una iniciativa pionera desarrollada en la Regi\u00f3n de Murcia, ha logrado importantes avances en la sostenibilidad de la fabricaci\u00f3n de pavimentos, mediante la integraci\u00f3n de bio-materiales obtenidos a partir de la revalorizaci\u00f3n de residuos.
