The construction and maintenance of roads, housing developments and industrial infrastructure can be energy and resource intensive. That's why we're continually developing more sustainable asphalt solutions that help reduce environmental impact while delivering the performance and durability our customers expect.
Our range of lower carbon asphalt products is designed to support more sustainable construction practices. Through lower-temperature asphalt production, the use of recycled asphalt materials, and innovative mix designs, we help reduce carbon emissions across the construction lifecycle.
Get in touch about Sustainable Asphalt
Asphalt plays a vital role in modern infrastructure. Balancing performance, durability and sustainability is essential, and we believe these goals can go hand in hand.
Our sustainable asphalt solutions are designed to reduce environmental impact throughout the entire lifecycle of your project, without compromising on quality, performance, or reliability.
By working closely with you, we help you deliver meaningful carbon reductions and meet your sustainability goals through tailored materials, innovative production techniques, and longer-lasting pavement solutions.
We're committed to lowering carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and embedding circular economy principles at every stage, we use lower-temperature production methods, incorporate recycled materials, and develop innovative mix designs that make a material difference.
Lower temperature production
Our warm mix asphalt reduces embodied carbon by lowering production temperatures, cutting energy use and delivering carbon savings without compromising performance.
Recycled Asphalt Planings (RAP)
By incorporating RAP into our mixes, we reduce the need for virgin aggregates and bitumen, preserving natural resources and lowering overall carbon emissions.
Biogenic bitumen
We can replace a proportion of oil-derived bitumen in our mixes with biogenic bitumen, produced from renewable sources such as plant oils and agricultural by-products.
Longer-life solutions
We design our performance asphalt mixes for enhanced durability, extending pavement life and reducing maintenance, material use, transport emissions and whole-life carbon.
We'll work closely with you to develop bespoke sustainable asphalt mixes that meet specific performance, environmental and design requirements. Explore some of our sustainable solutions below and get in touch to discuss your project needs.
While some sustainable asphalt products may come with a premium cost, many solutions, such as warm mix asphalt, are actually cost neutral.
In some cases, products like Breedon OneCoat™ can even deliver overall cost savings when reduced labour requirements are taken into account.
Yes. Our sustainable asphalt solutions is designed to deliver the same levels of performance and durability as traditional asphalt when laid correctly.
Solutions such as warm mix asphalt and asphalt containing RAP have undergone extensive testing and are approved for use on major highways.
The carbon savings achieved will vary depending on the product and project. Carbon reduction calculations can be provided on a cradle-to-grave basis for individual products and projects.
As a guide, warm mix asphalt can deliver carbon savings of up to 15%, while Breedon OneCoat™ can achieve up to a 30% reduction in lifetime carbon emissions.
Sustainable asphalt can typically be used in the same applications as standard asphalt mixes, providing a more sustainable solution without compromising suitability or performance.
Material can be delivered using the following vehicle types based on site access and delivery requirements
Material can also be collected in smaller tonnages from some plants - please contact your local office for more information.
