The general aim of the project is to design and implement a procedure that allows the recovery of the Posidonia Oceanica waste, obtained from the maintenance and cleaning of Mediterranean beaches, by its incorporation, as fibre, in ultrafine asphalt mixtures (very low thickness mixtures 1 to 2 cm), to improve its mechanical characteristics and achieve a more sustainable environmental product.

Project financed by the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) In the Financial Instruments Programme for R&D cooperation projects (IFIDCA/2014/1) and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
