Part of what makes GREENPATCH a sustainable solution is our commitment to using Recycled Asphalt Product . By reducing the use of virgin aggregates, we are minimizing the hazardous carbon footprint from the mining process- which also reflects on overall production costs.
GreenPatch uses state of the art recycling equipment such as SCREENERS (see image) in our manufacturing plants to create RAP by crushing old asphalt material and millings from roads and city streets. The screener separates and restores the reusable aggregates to be processed and re-graded into new asphalt.
