Ongoing Environmental Efforts
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
Our use of Warm Mix Asphalt technologies allows for applications at a lower temperature. This results in reduced fuel consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, increased Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) content in mix designs, and a safer working environment for crews.
Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt
Our crumb rubber modified asphalt is composed of asphalt blended with 20% recycled tire rubber. In addition to producing a high-performance asphalt binder, this also uses recycled materials and helps to reduce scrap tire inventories.
Emissions Control Efforts
We continue to take numerous steps to control and reduce the emissions from our terminals, plants, and operations. We believe as a part of the community we work and live in, it is our responsibility to help preserve clean air for our families, friends and neighbors.
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Widely recognized as the most recycled material in North America, including by the U.S. EPA, Federal Highway Association, and National Asphalt Pavement Association, asphalt pavement is almost 100% recycled. The use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) allows for pavement that has been removed from a road to be recycled into new mixes. This process helps to preserve natural resources and reduce waste while producing a cost-effective product for future projects.
