Dr. Barry Takkalou, CEO and Founder of CRM Rubber, joins Richard Wilson live from The Round Trip: Tyre & Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit for Episode 81 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast. As a civil engineer with 40 years of experience, Barry discusses his objective to share North American experiences with rubberized asphalt with colleagues in Australia and Europe. He details how CRM bridged the gap between scientific research and the practical needs of asphalt manufacturers to successfully commercialize the technology. Barry also addresses how contractors in California overcame initial reluctance to embrace rubber modified asphalt after a mandate, realizing its long-term durability and cost benefits. Finally, he discusses emerging applications like roofing shingles, his mission for global technology transfer, and the critical need for policymakers to find "champions" to mandate and support a sustainability direction.

Barry Takkalou covers all this and more in Episode 81. So please join us as we learn about the past, present, and future of rubberized asphalt.
