The introduction of vegetable based binders as an alternative to bitumen has tended to spark many people’s imagination because of their very low carbon footprint. This presentation will give an example of such a binder and describe its use in downstream mixtures and treatments. Uniquely, the binder is also available as an emulsion resulting in impressive reductions in greenhouse gas emission.
