Industrial approach to recycling, reuse and disposal of bituminous waste

Abstract
The Icopal Group produces bitumen based membranes at 15 plants in 11 countries. This paper presents Ipocal's ways of handling bituminous waste in the various countries through recycling, reuse, incineratin and landfill. The paper also discusses the groups activities to further develop processes for the use of the waste in the production of roofing membranes and road asphalt. These activities will allow Icopal to satisfy both environmental and economic requirements even better than today in its handling of bituminous waste.
