Bio-Based Bitumen Emerges as a Key Market Trend
A significant trend gaining traction in the bitumen market is the development of bio-based bitumen. Companies are innovating to sustain and grow their market share by introducing environmentally friendly alternatives. For example, in May 2024, UK-based Tarmac, known for sustainable building materials and construction solutions, created an algae-derived bitumen called bio-bitumen. This product serves as a greener alternative to traditional petroleum-based bitumen used in road construction. By leveraging algae's natural carbon capture abilities, bio-bitumen reduces the carbon footprint of bitumen production while maintaining essential qualities such as durability, water resistance, and recyclability.
