Lowering Your Carbon Footprint through Green Asphalt Technology
Green Asphalt is the nation's first 100% recycled asphalt plant. Utilizing reclaimed asphalt pavement, or RAP, Green Asphalt has provided over 2,000,000 tons of recycled asphalt paving materials to the New York City metro area over the past 10 years. Our patented method of producing environmentally friendly, cost effective asphalt has contributed to dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
