Environmental contributing in eco-friendly techniques in constructed roads : review

Abstract

Green road construction is a shining example of environmental stewardship and innovation in the pursuit of sustainable development. This method incorporates environmentally friendly materials and construction methods to create roadways that not only fulfill their intended function but also benefit the environment. Green road construction is changing the way we think about infrastructure development by combining environmental responsibility with functionality through the use of improved bitumens and recyclable materials.

Green road construction is a shining example of environmental stewardship and innovation in the pursuit of sustainable development. This method incorporates environmentally friendly materials and construction methods to create roadways that not only fulfill their intended function but also benefit the environment. Green road construction is changing the way we think about infrastructure development by combining environmental responsibility with functionality through the use of improved bitumens and recyclable materials.

One of the most crucial elements is the choice of materials in the development of green roads. Conventional road construction uses a lot of materials with high carbon footprints, such as concrete and regular asphalt. In contrast, green road building makes use of resources such as warm-mix asphalt, bio-based binders, and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). These materials aid in the preservation of natural resources in addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
