Concrete, asphalt and other building materials like lumber and glass are often referred to as construction and demolition, or C&D waste. There are specialized C&D recycling centers across the country that can dispose of concrete chunks and asphalt by processing and repurposing it for other uses.
"Use constituting disposal" is recycling that involves the direct placement of wastes or products containing wastes (e.g., asphalt with petroleum-refining wastes as an ingredient) on the land. "Burning for energy recovery" is recycling that involves burning a hazardous waste for its fuel value (either directly or when it is used to produce a fuel).
Asphalt recycling leverages old asphalt and the market continues growing for a few simple reasons. Recycled asphalt provides a better product at a lower cost! Additionally, as a recycled product, municipalities and companies deliver an environmentally friendly result, which also meets and possibly exceeds existing quality standards.
While different companies are pursuing different approaches, the general idea is that waste plastic is melted and mixed with other ingredients for making road asphalt. Ordinarily, asphalt is composed of 90 to 95 percent aggregate — whether gravel, sand, or limestone — and 5 to 10 percent bitumen, the black gooey substance extracted from ...
Recycling asphalt shingles has several environmental benefits and are known to have greenhouse gas savings when compared to landfilling (in terms of metric tons of CO 2 per short ton of shingles). Recycling of asphalt shingles are estimated to have economic benefits as well.

Welcome to the Future of Asphalt Recycling. By Dan Boss 04-21-2021. Each year in the U.S., roughly 13 million tons of asphalt material gets torn off of old roofs to make way for new asphalt shingles. Currently, only about 10% of that tear-off gets recycled for use in paving and other roadway projects. That leaves about 12 million tons of waste ...
Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris is a type of waste that is not included in municipal solid waste (MSW). Materials included in the C&D debris generation estimates are steel, wood products, drywall and plaster, brick and clay tile, asphalt shingles, concrete, and asphalt concrete. These materials are used in buildings, roads and bridges ...
Processing and beneficial use of waste asphalt shingles as an aggregate in the production of hot mix asphalt paving material and as a sub-base for road and driveway construction. WMGR082 (pdf) Processing and beneficial use of steel and iron slag and refractory bricks mined from an existing slag pile for use as a construction material.
The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) the effects of rubber and plastic concentrations and rubber particle sizes on properties of asphalt cement, (b) on properties of asphalt concrete specimens and (c) the effects of fly ash, marble powder, rubber powder and petroleum contaminated soil as filler materials instead of stone powder in the asphalt concrete specimens.
The most common disposal method for asphalt shingles in the US is to dump them into landfills. Approximately 11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste is generated each year in the United States. The main environmental concern in recycling asphalt shingles is the rare presence of asbestos in shingles manufactured before 1980.
Recycling in Asphalt The primary material recycled into asphalt mixtures is recycled asphalt. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is commonly stockpiled, crushed, tested and recycled back into new asphalt at the production plant (Austroads 2015). Typically, 10-20% of RAP is incorporated, with higher
First of all, waste asphalt blocks are fed into the grizzly, and then over size asphalt blocks (greater than 40 mm) are carried to the crushing machine.Crushed asphalt blocks are called "Grizzly-over-materials" (GOM), and generally, they can be used as recycled asphalt aggregates, because they satisfy the required standard values for content of asphalt (measured in % with respect …
Asphalt Pavement. While recycled asphalt pavement was not reported separately in these data, generation of "inert solid waste," which consists of concrete, asphalt, dirt, brick and other rubble, was conservatively estimated at 8.2 million tons. The estimated recycling rate for inert solid wastes was 57 percent; the remainder was disposed of.
Cold Mix Asphalt (In-Place Recycling) The cold in-place recycling process involves specialized plants or processing trains, whereby the existing pavement surface is milled to a depth of up to 150 mm (6 in), processed, mixed with asphalt emulsion (or ed asphalt), and placed and compacted in a single pass.
The European asphalt industry takes care of the environment and feels responsible for its product during its whole lifetime. EAPA therefore strongly supports, where economically and technically feasible, all efforts to optimize the recycling and re-use of asphalt. In addition EAPA holds the position on so-called "Construction and Demolition ...
Class IV landfill. Disposal of waste asphalt in a Class III landfill, reserved for inert materials only, is prohibited. In addition, waste asphalt may not be used as clean fill. [Clean fill is defined in ARM 17.50.502(4)]. The use of waste asphalt generated from off-site sources as backfill
Asphalt milling is a recycling and re-paving procedure, aimed at removing the top layer of asphalt from a street, parking lot or driveway without disturbing the sub-base. Once the asphalt is milled up, it is taken to an asphalt plant where it's screened and sized again and then used to make new pavement.
California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery estimated that asphalt-rubber paving consumed more than 35,000 metric tons of crumb rubber in 2018.

Taxpayers save money by recycling asphalt. Contractors also save on transportation, energy and material costs. Other benefits of using recycled asphalt include reduce the demand for new asphalt that's more expensive, improved asphalt stiffness, and reduces the likelihood of cracking when used on pavements.
Asphalt is part of a recycling category called "construction and demolition" (or C&D) waste. Concrete, wood, glass and building fixtures are also considered C&D waste. C&D waste is typically treated differently from normal waste, which means it can be more difficult to find recycling centers.
11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste is generated in the U.S. each year. Recycling 11 million tons of asphalt roofing shingles is the equivalent of saving 11 million barrels of oil. The U.S. manufactures enough asphalt shingles each year to cover the entire Facebook campus 11,000 times. Asphalt roof shingles don't have to fill up landfills.
Asphalt plannings are often used as an aggregate substitute in highway and commercial construction forming part of a base or subbase material on highways and roads and as a base layer for new build construction, residential driveways and car parking. Recycled plastics, glass and other waste product are becoming more common in new asphalt design.
