SUMMARY

ACLA® was used to decarbonise another road project, this time in East Riding. We were able to support East Riding of Yorkshire Council to deliver a lower carbon road resurfacing project on Edinburgh street in Goole. ACLA was used in an asphalt mix supplied by Tarmac, with Lane Rentals handling the contracting work.

Incorporating ACLA® into the mix removed 6,384kg of CO2e from the atmosphere and locked it away in the resulting road - equivalent to the emissions of an average UK petrol car driving 38,926km.

“The council is leading the way in using low carbon methods and testing the latest technology to repair and resurface roads to benefit the environment and road users. We'll be monitoring the performance of these road surfaces with a view to using more carbon saving materials in our schemes in the future, in support of the council's Climate Change Strategy.”

Councillor Paul West

Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport

"We are thrilled to partner with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Tarmac, and Lane Rentals on another ground-breaking project to decarbonise road infrastructure. This project demonstrates the commitment of all parties involved to create a more sustainable built environment through collaborative action and innovative solutions. ACLA® offers a simple and scalable solution for Local Councils to decarbonise their road infrastructure projects."
