There is potential to reduce carbon emissions by increasing the amount of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) used in an asphalt mix. This presentation provides a practical guide on how to effectively incorporate high levels of RAP into a asphalt mix plant.
Typically, high-RAP mixes are dosed with an effective rejuvenator to help restore the functional properties of the aged RAP bitumen, make the RAP bitumen available as a binder, and reduce the need for virgin bitumen. The overall carbon footprint is reduced by utilizing high levels of RAP, dosing with a bio-based rejuvenator, and reducing the need for virgin bitumen.
The presentation highlights case studies from around the globe, demonstrating the use of high-RAP mixes dosed with ReLIXER to deliver excellent roadway performance, reduce mix cost, and help meet sustainability goals.
