AI to the Rescue: Turning Waste into Value to Improve Road Quality

Meeting & Discussion

A new formula leverages the hardness and durability of steel slag to extend road life and reduce gravel use, helping eliminate potholes and supporting low-carbon, sustainable infrastructure. Through intelligent verification using AI and blockchain, the quality and flow of recycled aggregates are fully tracked, enhancing transparency, brand credibility, and market trust.
This technology combines steel slag with other inorganic resources to enable 100% recycled material substitution and cross-industry reuse. By integrating AI, IoT, and blockchain, it ensures full tracking of recycled materials' quality and flow. This transparent system enhances the image and trust in recycled products. Proven in the steel industry, it also shows promise for use in plastics, batteries, and textiles, supporting global circular economy goals.
