Asphalt is the environmentally sustainable pavement. Both the pavements themselves and the processes used to produce them are the ultimate in green.

 

  • Asphalt pavement is America’s most recycled product. Every year, 90 million tons of asphalt pavements are reclaimed, and more than 80 percent of that total is reused or recycled.
  • Between 1960 and 1999, while production of asphalt pavement material increased by 250 percent, total emissions from our operations decreased by 97 percent.
  • Porous asphalt pavements offer a tool for storm-water management with both environmental and economic benefits. Learn more.
  • Warm-mix asphalt reduces fuel consumption, cuts greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances the quality of pavements. Learn more.
