Redbridge is the first borough in London to trial a new asphalt mix that can reduce the carbon footprint in road resurfacing works. The project has been led by Redbridge Council, in partnership with Kensons Highways, using the asphalt for road resurfacing at Lodge Hill, in Ilford.
The asphalt mix, supplied by Tarmac, lowered the carbon footprint from road resurfacing by incorporating a carbon negative product into the mix, called ACLA. Results showed that using ACLA, Tarmac’s asphalt reduced the project’s carbon footprint by 68%.
