One way of improving the production process for asphalt concrete pavements is their modification with plasticizers or additives. The current tendency, when searching for innovative methods to increase the quality of manufactured asphalt concrete mixtures, is their modification with rubber dust, which is one way of improving the hardness characteristics of asphalt concrete pavements while, at the same time, minimizing environmental hazards through efficient material usage. The use of rubber from used car tires in the production of asphalt concrete mixtures proves to be an effective method for their management.
