Asphalt is the most recycled Material in the World!

The most recycled material in the country isn't aluminum cans and it isn't newspapers; it's asphalt.

Asphalt is the most recycled material in the United States today. Each day hundreds of miles of hot mix asphalt is milled from the surface of roads, ground into marble-size lumps and reused as part of new hot mix asphalt production. According to a report by the Federal Highway Administration, 80% of the asphalt pavement that's removed during widening and resurfacing is being reused each year. That compares to 60% of aluminum cans, 56% of newsprint, 37% of plastic soft drink bottles, 31% for glass bottles, and 23% for magazines.

There are hundreds of thousands of miles of hot mix asphalt highways and roads today. We've learned to do it right.

Asphalt - It never grows old. It can always be re-energized and used again.
