Enligt nyligen publicerade vetenskapliga rapporter blir planeten varmare i en takt aldrig tidigare skådad. Om inte utsläppen av växthusgaser minskas kraftigt så kommer temperaturmålet på 1,5 °C som fastställdes i Parisavtalet att överskridas. Även om alla påverkas av klimatförändringar på ett eller annat sätt så är barn särskilt sårbara för effekterna. Unga generationer idag kommer också att få taAccording to recently published scientific reports, the planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The temperature goal of 1,5°C set in the Paris Agreement will be exceeded unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made.

Asfaltbeläggningar behöver fortlöpande repareras och slutligen bytas ut efter nötning och sönderbrytning men också av att asfalten förlorat sin eftergivlighet genom åldring. Det är en naturlig förändring som påverkas av luftens syre och solens strålning men också av ämnen i miljön. Tillvaratagen asfalt kan emellertid ges nytt liv igen, återvinnas, och användas på nytt som vägbeläggning. Det sker gAsphalt coatings need to be continuously repaired and finally replaced after abrasion and damage, but also because the asphalt has lost its flexibility due to aging. It is a natural change that is affected by the oxygen in the air and the sun's radiation, but also by substances in the environment.
