AM/NS India Licenses Steel Slag Technology for Road Construction
Imagine roads being made from recycled steel waste!
AM/NS India got a license to use a special technology to turn leftover steel slag into road-building material.
These roads are cheaper and last longer than regular ones, and they are good for the environment.
India is building these 'steel slag roads' with the help of scientists, and they've already built a special road in Hazira, India.
This is part of a larger plan to reuse waste and help the environment, which will also create jobs.
AM/NS India secured the first license for steel slag valorization technology from CSIR-CRRI.
The technology enables processing steel slag aggregates for road construction.
Steel slag roads are more cost-effective and durable than traditional bitumen roads.
AM/NS India built India's first all-steel slag road in Hazira, Gujarat, with CSIR-CRRI.
The initiative aligns with India's circular economy goals and aims to reduce waste.
