Recycling low-noise SDA asphalt
Over the past years, several hundred kilometres of highly effective low-noise SDA 4 road surfaces have been constructed across Switzerland. Many of these sections are now approaching an age at which replacement will soon be required. One aspect has so far received little attention: these specialised surfaces cannot be recycled as easily as conventional road materials.
This issue will become increasingly relevant in the coming years. By 2030, more than 200,000 tonnes of SDA material are expected to arise and will need to be reused in a technically sound manner.
