Sustainability & Environment Boral Asphalt is building roads to last.Boral has developed and adopted innovative technology which aims to improve the sustainability credentials of our asphalt products and optimise their quality and performance.

In the diagram and points left/below, we show you some of the sustainability measures used during Boral’s asphalt manufacturing and application process. Measures such as reducing emissions, noise and dust, using recycled materials are all positive points of difference that help make Boral Asphalt products the smart choice for future pavements.
