In 2024, Michigan Tech mixed 6% treated waste glass into asphalt; dynamic stability rose 42.3%, and anti-skid performance improved 38.6% over standard mixes

Researchers at Michigan Technological University have discovered an innovative way to utilize waste glass in paving roads. Their findings reveal that surface-treated glass enhances the stability and anti-skid features of asphalt, showing promise in lab tests. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we incorporate recycled materials, following similar experiments in US cities over the years, potentially paving the way for improved road construction methods in the future.
