Energy & Emissions Benefits report explores RAP, WMA

The newly released SIP-111 Energy and Emissions Benefits of RAP and WMA Usage 2023 highlights the environmental benefits of using recycled materials and warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies during the 2023 construction season.

Key findings:

• WMA: Reduced production temperatures saved 2.1 trillion Btu and cut 0.14 MMT of CO₂e—equal to the emissions of 31,000 cars.
• RAP: Use of 96.1 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement avoided 2.9 MMT of CO₂e—comparable to 620,000 cars.

This report complements the 2023 Construction Season Recycled Materials and WMA survey report and underscores the asphalt industry’s progress in sustainability.
