Asphalt • Concrete
Brick & Stone
It's worth noting that asphalt is not as bad for the environment as it is commonly perceived. In fact, it is 100% reusable and recycled at a higher rate than any other material in America. Green Asphalt, a New York City based company, is a 100% recycled asphalt manufacturer that focuses on sustainability. More than 80%, 73 million tons — of the reclaimed asphalt pavement removed each year during widening and resurfacing projects is reused in pavement, according to the Federal Highway Administration. That’s substantially higher than the percentages for recycled newspaper, glass, plastic, and aluminum cans and magazines.
Whether you use permeable pavers or recycled asphalt pavement, the future of paving is heading towards sustainability and a reduction in carbon emissions. So the next time you need your asphalt repaired or repaved, consider the eco-friendly options available to you.
