A comprehensive review of recycled materials in eco-friendly pavement construction
Yuanxin Li
Sažetak
The integration of recycled materials into pavement construction is a vital strategy for promoting sustainable urban infrastructure. Recycled concrete aggregate, reclaimed asphalt pavement, and crumb rubber have demonstrated significant potential to reduce environmental impacts by minimising resource consumption and construction waste generation. Technical evaluations revealed that these materials can deliver performance comparable to or exceeding that of conventional pavements. Although issues related to quality variability and lack of standardisation persist, economic analyses have identified significant cost savings. This review underscores the need for continued technological innovation and regulatory interventions to facilitate broader adoption, support circular economy objectives in pavement construction, and contribute to long-term sustainability targets.
