Use of used tiresIssue: California generates
more than 40 million scraptires every year. While nearly75 percent of used tires arerecycled
Solution: 1. RubberizedAsphalt Concrete
2. Tire Derived
Aggregates

The Province of British Columbia Hot In Place recycling of asphalt pavements
Over 10 million square meters recycled to date. Maximizes the use of non renewable resources Reduces green house gas emissions as much as 7000
tonnes per production day over conventional mill and fill.

Japan's Mitsubishi Materials Corporationhas developed a paving stone called"Noxer" that uses the catalytic properties
of TiO2 to remove nitrogen oxide (NOx)from the air, breaking it down intoenvironmentally benign substances thatare washed away by rainwater. ( NOx isproduced in abundance through vehicleemissions .)

Conclusion
We can use warm mix asphalt in place of HMAwithout compromising in life span andperformance of pavement.
Recycled material can be used in constructionwith equal strength. We can improve our environment by using new
strategies for sustainable construction
By managing natural resources we can reducedepletion of resource and can presereve these fornew generation.
And we can also reduce the cost of constructionand achieve economy

Recommendations We have to be aware about our environment in
no time. We have to preserve our non renewable
resources for next generation. We should to invent some new technology for low
energy consumption in road construction. We should design planning and costruct more and
more sustainable roads.
