Sonia Green Technology
Reinventing road base through 90 % energy reduction and the incorporation of waste materials into bitumen production
Founders Start-up
SONIA has revolutionised the asphalt industry by implementing an innovative technology that reduces costs and minimises energy consumption . The primary focus of SONIA is on Polymer Modified Bitumens ( PMBs ), a crucial component within asphalt mixture . PMBs are conventionally manufactured , transported , and stored at extremely high temperatures and are susceptible to phase separation , negatively impacting their performance .
SONIA addresses these challenges , leading to a 90 % reduction in energy consumption during production while enabling storage and transportation at ambient temperatures , eliminating the issue of phase separation .
SONIA further contributes to environmental sustainability by substituting virgin polymers with waste plastics .
