what we do
Our system requires three components for success.
First, our community-based process works to identify difficult to recycle plastic waste and works with partners to divert it from landfill and ship it to our plant.
Second, we process the material locally add the proprietary activator and create safe, meaningful, and good paying jobs for the community. The facility requirements for our system are readily available and do not require heat, water, or harsh chemicals in production.
Third, we work with a local hot-mix asphalt contractor and supplier to manufacture and construct projects with the new asphalt design.
Our design process for the hot-mix follows the traditional design process for binder and mix design. We can meet or exceed mix design parameters for all polymer modified asphalts.
Our system can be used in most circumstances with no modification to the asphalt hot-mix plant. If the right feeder is not present, we provide a simple add on device that can be integrated into the control system of the asphalt hot-mix plant.
On the job site, our material handles just like other asphalt installs requiring no change to equipment or process.
