#Austroads has released a new report outlining key strategies to reduce the #environmental impact of sprayed seals, a vital component of road infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. Sprayed seals are used on approximately 70% of sealed roads in both countries and are also widely used globally. While they are more environmentally friendly than asphalt and concrete road surfaces, their reliance on non-renewable resources raises sustainability concerns. ℹ️ Click on this link to find out more: https://lnkd.in/g8ND6b2Y 🖥️ Watch a webinar presented by author Steve Patrick and a Q&A moderated by project manager Robert Busuttil to learn more about the report's findings: https://lnkd.in/gFruttgu
