Property & Benefits

While asphalt might seem like a straightforward material, it offers a surprising array of environmental benefits, particularly when compared to other paving materials:

1. Asphalt has excellent recyclability

  • Asphalt is 100% reusable and America’s most recycled material, according to the National Asphalt Pavement Association.
  • When a road or driveway needs resurfacing, the old asphalt can be removed, processed, and incorporated into new pavement layers without losing quality or structural integrity.
  • This recycling process reduces the demand for virgin resources like bitumen and aggregates, conserves natural resources like sand and gravel, and significantly reduces the amount of material sent to landfills.
  • The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new mixes can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with new material production. 

2. Reduced energy consumption and emissions

  • Producing asphalt, especially using Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technologies, requires less energy and generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to other paving materials like concrete.
  • WMA reduces the production and placement temperatures of asphalt mixtures by 30°F to 120°F, translating to lower fuel consumption and fewer greenhouse gases released during the paving process.
  • The asphalt industry utilizes waste and byproducts from other industries, like reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS), further reducing environmental impact and minimizing landfill waste. 

3. Improved water management

  • Porous asphalt pavements allow rainwater to drain through the surface and infiltrate the ground below, recharging groundwater tables and reducing stormwater runoff.
  • This infiltration helps filter out pollutants from stormwater runoff, improving the quality of water entering waterways and minimizing the risk of erosion and flooding.

4. Extended Lifespan and Reduced Maintenance

  • With proper maintenance, asphalt pavements can be designed to last in perpetuity, significantly reducing the need for complete reconstruction and its associated environmental costs.
  • Longer-lasting pavements mean fewer replacements and reduced consumption of resources and energy over time.
  • Maintenance activities like sealcoating, crack sealing, and patching use fewer materials and energy compared to full-scale reconstruction, contributing to a greener infrastructure system. 

5. Noise Reduction

  • Asphalt pavements have the ability to reduce traffic noise, contributing to quieter neighborhoods and urban areas.
  • Smooth asphalt surfaces create less tire-pavement noise than other pavement types, potentially leading to improved quality of life in urban environments.
In conclusion, asphalt offers a range of environmental benefits through its high recyclability, reduced energy consumption during production, improved water management capabilities, extended lifespan with proper maintenance, and noise reduction qualities. These advantages underscore its role as a sustainable choice for paving and infrastructure development.
