Recycled Polymer Modified Asphalt for Sustainable Roads
More sustainable roads with less plastic waste
Plastic waste is a huge issue around the world. One way to help stop the flow of this waste is to use recycled polymer modified asphalt for roads, parking lots, and other pavement.
Polymer modified asphalt (PMA) is a proven solution for making better pavement. Our ELVALOY™ Reactive Elastomeric Terpolymer (RET) products have been enhancing PMAs for more than 30 years, resulting in excellent performance, long service life, and lower life cycle costs compared to conventional, neat asphalt.

Using recycled plastic in asphalt to reduce waste
Recycled polymer modified asphalt (RPMA) takes pavement in a new direction by adding post-consumer recycle content (PCR) to the mix. To make RPMA, the base asphalt binder is modified by adding the PCR with ELVALOY™ RET to the asphalt.
In addition to putting plastic waste to good use and keeping it out of landfills, RPMA pavement can help reduce: Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and resurfacing needs.
