Eco-Friendly Roads: How Modern Surfacing Materials Are Changing the Game

Traditional road surfacing often comes with a hefty environmental cost: energy-intensive production, high carbon footprints, and limited recyclability. But with industry innovations, eco-friendly surfacing options are more accessible and effective than ever. At Total Surfacing Solutions, we offer sustainable solutions—like resin-bound and high-performance materials—that are built to last and better for the planet.

1. Sustainable Materials: Resin-Bound & Low-Impact Tarmac

• Resin-Bound Surfacing A visually appealing, permeable surface that uses natural aggregates and UV-stable resin. It reduces stormwater run-off and helps maintain local hydrology—perfect for sustainable developments or urban resurfacing. Total Surfacing actively lists Resin Bound Surfacing among its core services  .
• Durable, Lower-Impact Tarmac By using high-quality, precisely laid tarmac with optimized compaction techniques, surfaces last longer and require less frequent replacement. Total Surfacing emphasizes their commitment to long-lasting surfacing solutions that weather heavy use and harsh conditions  .

2. Eco-Benefits That Go Beyond Appearance

• Reduced Repair and Maintenance Longer-lasting surfaces mean fewer repairs, which lowers carbon emissions from repeated vehicle miles, plant operation, and material production  .
• Permeability & Water Management Resin-bound and certain permeable tarmac systems help alleviate stormwater strain on urban drainage, reducing flood risk and environmental runoff.
• Energy Efficiency Modern installation methods, such as machine-laid tarmac, increase energy efficiency during installation—something Total Surfacing offers as part of their services  .
