What is Recycled Asphalt?
Recycled asphalt, also known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is a sustainable paving material that reuses asphalt from existing roads, driveways, and parking lots. At Cameron Paving, our recycled asphalt mixtures typically consist of 40-60% recycled content combined with new processed stone and gravel, delivering excellent quality comparable to new asphalt at a lower environmental impact.
Benefits of Choosing Recycled Asphalt
- Cost Savings: Using recycled asphalt typically reduces project costs by 5-15% compared to traditional asphalt paving.
- Environmental Benefits: Reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources, recycled asphalt significantly lowers your project’s environmental footprint.
- Comparable Performance: Modern recycled asphalt mixes match or exceed the performance of virgin asphalt when properly installed.
Ideal Uses for Recycled Asphalt
Recycled asphalt is suitable for a variety of paving projects, including:
- Residential driveways: Durable and cost-effective solution suitable for homeowners.
- Commercial parking lots: Stands up well under moderate traffic volumes, providing businesses a sustainable paving option.
- Private Roads: A practical and cost-effective solution for maintaining private roadways and access lanes.
Appearance and Longevity
Initially, recycled asphalt may differ slightly in texture and color from standard asphalt. However, after a few months of exposure and weathering, it becomes indistinguishable from new asphalt, offering both beauty and functionality.
Professional Installation for Optimal Results
