While the benefits of rubberized asphalt are not highly publicized, the material could be a game changer for future infrastructure projects. There is clear evidence that rubberized asphalt is more affordable and greener than non-rubberized asphalt. Research from the University of Missouri and the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association finds that compared to regular asphalt, rubberized asphalt produces 34% less CO2 emissions, doubles the lifespan of roads, and costs 43% less over the life cycle of the road. Current road construction practices result in high emissions and have seen costs skyrocket over the last 50 years. Increased use of rubberized asphalt would reduce these out of control costs and emissions from road construction.
