Material flow analysis of asphalt used in roads for an Austrian municipality

Circular economy gain increasing popularity to ensure a sustainable development. The road construction sector has a major contribution to the circular approach as asphalt has high recycling rates and waste materials have potential application in the production of asphalt mixtures.

A study on the asphalt flow in an Austrian municipality was conducted and the underlying material flow analysis model and primary data construction and demolition data of the study are presented. In addition, transfer coefficients and the particle emission model are included.
