Revolutionizing Road Construction with Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen: India’s Answer to Tyre Waste Management in the Hills
Waste tire rubber powder, when used in road construction, prevents oxidation and extends the road's black color, making it more durable and resilient.
- The use of Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB) in road construction is cleaner and more climate-friendly compared to traditional methods, reducing carbon footprint and aggregate consumption.
- India is the third largest automobile market in the world, leading to a significant increase in tire production and subsequent waste tire generation.
- Despite environmental advantages, CRMB is not widely used in India due to lack of awareness and industry mandates, leading to challenges in tire recycling and waste management.
- The Indian government has made it mandatory for tire manufacturers and importers to recycle end-of-life tires, but the implementation and regulation of tire recycling and waste importation remain questionable.
