Celebrate America Recycles Day with asphalt
Every day is America Recycles Day for asphalt pavement. That’s because asphalt is the nation’s most recycled product. How do we know?
NAPA works with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), to quantify the use of recycling technologies through an annual survey. The full report includes state-by-state breakdowns of recycled materials usage.
The asphalt pavement industry has a long history of incorporating recycled materials right back into the mix, creating a strong foundation for a circular economy.
RAP usage in 2022 saved the United States 4.9 million of tons of asphalt binder & 93 million tons of aggregate.
RAP helped reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2.7 million metric tons. That’s the equivalent of taking 600K passenger vehicles off the road each year.
