Recycling is becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry, and for good reason. It not only saves money and reduces waste, but it also benefits the environment. One way that recycling is being used in paving projects is by using recycled asphalt. Marchi Paving is a general contractor that specializes in asphalt paving, excavation, site work, drainage, utilities, masonry, and commercial snow removal and can help you incorporate recycled asphalt into your paving project.
Here are some of the advantages of using recycled asphalt in paving projects:
Environmentally friendly
Recycling asphalt reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Additionally, it conserves natural resources and reduces the need for virgin materials, such as oil.
Cost-effective
Using recycled asphalt is typically less expensive than using virgin materials. This is because it requires less processing and transportation, and there is less demand for it.
Durable
Recycled asphalt is just as durable as virgin asphalt. In fact, it may even be stronger due to the aging process that the recycled asphalt has already undergone.
Conserves energy
Recycling asphalt requires less energy than producing virgin asphalt. This reduces the amount of fossil fuels consumed and the greenhouse gas emissions that result.
Customizable
Recycled asphalt can be customized to meet specific project needs. For example, it can be mixed with virgin materials to improve its strength or performance.
Shorter project timelines
Using recycled asphalt can shorten project timelines since the material is readily available and requires less processing.
Incorporating recycled asphalt into your paving project can provide many benefits. Marchi Paving can help you determine if using recycled asphalt is a viable option for your project and provide the necessary services to ensure that the recycled asphalt is properly processed and mixed with other materials as needed.
