Biobit
BioBit is a new line of binders for the asphalt industry to meet the demands of modern government agencies and other environmentally conscious customers. Unlike other bitumen producers Ventraco have created binders with predominantly natural biobased raw materials. Our point of view is, if a binder contains less than 50% biobased ingredients, one could not speak of a “biobased” binder. We often see normal penetration bitumen with 10% to 20% of renewable materials. This is more an attempt to “green wash” petrochemical products, than a real solution to use less of the petrochemical raw materials.
Ventraco Innovation Center BV developed biobased bitumen (BioBit) with one of the highest natural raw material contents in the market, up to 100%.
