RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement)

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is the material leftover from removing or resurfacing old asphalt roads. Instead of discarding it, RAP is processed and reused in new asphalt mixtures, making the paving process more sustainable and cost-effective. It retains valuable asphalt binder and aggregate, which can be recycled into new surfaces, reducing the need for new raw materials and decreasing environmental impact. RAP is a common and accepted component in modern asphalt production, helping to promote greener construction practices while maintaining pavement quality and durability.
