The concept of eco-friendly roads was rolled out during the start of the 21st<\/sup> century. Initially, plastic was preferred for the construction of sustainable roads. However, with the technological advancements in constructional techniques, plastic was replaced by rubber and asphalt. A number of countries are working on this concept to reduce their carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s find out about the eco-friendly roads in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Eco-friendly Roads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The green roads refer to the paved streets constructed from eco-friendly or recycled materials. The purpose of building such roads is to reduce the negative impact of road construction on the environment. Along with this, it also supports in reducing and recycling waste generated from other processes such as tyre and plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the construction processes and materials used in construction of eco-friendly roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are different elements that can be used in the construction of sustainable roads. Generally, locally available raw material and machineries are proffered for the construction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically speaking about the eco-friendly roads to be built in the UAE, recycled tyres and asphalt have been used. A tyre recycling<\/a> plant has already been established in Abu Dhabi. This recycling plant is one of its kind and recycles waste tyres that use it for other purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
