Can Tarmac Pave the Way to Sustainability?

A Green Revolution for Your Driveway!

Can a tarmac driveway in Norfolk really be a sustainable choice for your property? Yes, it can! Here is everything you need to know about what makes tarmac a great driveway material for those who are looking to do their bit for the planet.

Recyclability

A lot of people don’t realise that tarmac is recyclable. In fact, it is one of the most recycled construction materials in the world! During recycling, it can be crushed and reprocessed into new materials. This hugely reduces the need for virgin materials, which is becoming a real problem in construction and beyond. By repurposing what is already there, we can conserve resources and do our bit to help the planet.

A Durable Choice

Tarmac is very durable, and this ties in with what we were just talking about. When you invest in a tarmac drive, you’ll be paying for something that lasts for many years to come. This means that you won’t have to replace your drive for a long time, reducing the demand for new materials. Your driveway might not seem like the most obvious place to make your property more sustainable, but tarmac has plenty to offer in this regard!

Energy Efficiency

Tarmac is an energy-efficient driveway choice as well. Its production and installation use much less energy than many other paving materials. It can also be manufactured at lower temperatures, reducing emissions released during its production. One thing that you may not know is that tarmac’s smooth surface reduces vehicle rolling resistance. This can improve fuel efficiency – which of course, is a great thing for the planet. Every little helps!

Lower Flooding Risk

Tarmac also comes with a reduced flooding risk. It’s a non-porous material, so water will not be absorbed. While this may seem like it could lead to flooding, we’ll design a driveway that directs any surface water into drains. The result? No unsightly pools of water on your driveway, and a much, much lower risk of flooding. This makes it a great option for any of our customers based in flood-prone areas.
