The asphalt industry reuses and recycles nearly 100 million tons of its own product every year, making it America’s number one recycler. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) actually reduces the amount of new asphalt cement and aggregates needed for constructing new roadways. Other materials – including rubber from used tires, glass and asphalt roofing shingles – are recycled into asphalt pavements.
