2nd International Workshop on the Use of Biomaterials in Pavements
23rd and 24th September 2024
São Paulo, Brazil
Workshop biomaterials
About the workshop
The interest in the use of alternative materials for road pavements has increasingly grown in the last decades including the utilisation of recycled and bio materials. Biomaterials are materials coming from renewable sources which can have different roles in pavement materials.
The 2nd International Workshop on the Use of Biomaterials in Pavements is taking place in São Paulo, Brazil on the 23rd and 24th September 2024. The aim of the workshop is to share experience in the use of this type of materials to advance scientific knowledge, encourage transfer and application of this knowledge worldwide. The final purpose is to create a scientific community of experts and interested people on this recently emerged topic and define research needs.

Why joining?
Like all other large industries, road construction sector has to move towards more sustainable manufacturing technologies. One possible solution is to replace conventional bitumen by bio sourced binders or/and bio-additives. More and more studies are published every day, all over the world. Various experiments have already been undertaken: in lab, full-sclae, on field, using local biomass, employing different ways and processes to adapt these biomaterials to road material specifications.
Now is the time to share experiments to compare solutions, understand the limitations and hopes arising from this new way of thinking about road construction technology. We propose to run up a collaborative platform dedicated to bio materials in road construction. The 2nd International Workshop on the Use of Biomaterials in Pavements will be the opportunity for that. We aim at creating during the workshop, a fruitful environment to discuss and confront approaches, with the aim to finally define the roadmap for biomaterial integration in road materials.

As outcome of the workshop, a white paper or roadmap will be published, putting together and summarising all the contributions, discussions and conclusions obtained during the development of the workshop, aiming at being the reference document for the use of biomaterials in pavements for the next decades. Certificates of attendance will be provided to participants.
If you are working, or are interest, on this topic, you cannot miss the opportunity to be part of this new community!
