In this bio-asphalt, fossil bitumen has been replaced by lignin of biobased origin. In the various layers this asphalt is used in different compositions and partly also mixed with recycled asphalt. Never before had a complete road construction consisted of this composition. Until now, test strips have been laid in the Netherlands of which only the top layer contains lignin.

In the week of 14 December 2020, the 8th Biobased Battle was organised by Living Lab Biobased Brazil. This time entirely online.
