ACM’s informal assessment of collaboration between asphalt producers

Asphalt producers are allowed to collaborate to make asphalt production more sustainable. That is the conclusion of the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) after Bouwend Nederland, a trade association for the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry, had asked whether the collaboration between its members of the Department on Bituminous Works is allowed. These asphalt producers have the ambition to switch to asphalt with a lower production temperature. A lower production temperature has less impact on the environment. All asphalt producers in the Netherlands share this ambition.
