Roads are a material-intensive system with an ever-increasing material demand as evidenced by 700,000 km of new roads built around the world every year. Moreover, its particularly long service life of several decades implies maintenance needs with additional materials and energy consumption to secure vehicle safety and transport comfort. Meanwhile, climate actions and sustainable strategy in the infrastructure sector are of crucial importance to reduce material resource, energy consumption and associated carbon emissions, and to achieve targets set in the global agenda such as the Paris Agreement on climate change.
