Recycling
Do you know Asphalt is the #1
recycled material in America?
100% Recycled
Asphalt is considered one of the most recycled materials in the world. On average, new asphalt pavement mixes contain approximately 22% recycled content. At Green Asphalt, we’re pushing the limits of the industry by producing 100% recycled asphalt, showing that not only is full recycling possible, but it’s beneficial for pavement producers, pavement owners, and pavement users alike.
Clearing RAP Piles
Pavement Producers benefit from 100% recycled asphalt by clearing their nuisance RAP piles from their properties, freeing more space for other business activities. In metropolitan areas, this real estate can be valuable and can fund other business ventures. Additionally, the cost to create 100% recycled asphalt is less than the cost to produce conventional asphalt, allowing the producer to add a cost-effective, high-quality pavement option to their list of products.
Benefits
Pavement Owners benefit from 100% recycled asphalt by meeting or exceeding their recycling and sustainability goals on a project by project basis. Additionally, cost savings from utilizing 100% RAP vs conventional asphalt will often translate to a less expensive project, or the ability to pave more lane miles for the same cost.
Pavement Users will experience a high-quality pavement that will last for years to come, as well as severely lessened truck traffic in neighborhoods surrounding asphalt plants, as the trucks required to bring in virgin aggregate and asphalt cement will be limited by the use of 100% recycled asphalt.
