摘要

As traditional pavement materials continue to face environmental challenges, green infrastructure is gaining popularity. A study published in this volume examines eco-friendly pavement technologies that address issues such as energy consumption, resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. These technologies include recycled aggregates, permeable pavements and bio-based binders. In addition to promoting sustainability, these materials enhance stormwater management, reduce maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of infrastructure. The study identifies several implementation barriers, including cost, performance uncertainty, and regulatory challenges, and proposes strategies to overcome them. This paper explores innovative materials, their performance, and how they can be integrated into construction practices to support sustainable development. By providing actionable insights for stakeholders, it facilitates the transition toward environmentally friendly infrastructure that is both resilient and responsible.
