Sustainable Pavement

Sustainable Pavement

Asphalt is the sustainable material for constructing pavements. From the production of the paving material, to the placement of the pavement on the road, to rehabilitation, through recycling, asphalt pavements minimize impact on the environment. Low consumption of energy for production and construction, low emission of greenhouse gases, and conservation of natural resources help to make asphalt the environmental pavement of choice.  A short video on asphalt sustainability is available here, or read WAPA’s Sustainable Pavement page.
