- Rising prices of waste cooking oil and limitations in CO2 emission reduction effects.
- Tree roots damaging pavements.
- Lack of solutions for PET recycling in the paving industry.
- Shortage of skilled workers in road maintenance.
- Increasing load on pavements due to heavier electric vehicles and automated driving.
- Difficulty in securing asphalt due to reduced crude oil refining.
