America's biggest asphalt maker faces a 'golden age' with some green strings attached
So companies such as CRH are adapting to become more eco-friendly. A variety of asphalt called "warm mix asphalt" can be made at lower temperatures and with lower carbon emissions. There's also recycled asphalt pavement, which is exactly what it sounds like: pavement that has been scraped off a road, ground up and used again. It is typically mixed in with virgin pavement.
Right now, CRH says about 25% of every mile of road it paves is recycled asphalt pavement, though there are some places where the share of recycled asphalt is much higher. That percentage is common in the industry. The reason: When recycled pavement was first introduced, it had a tendency to degrade faster, simply because it was older.
