Many people donβt realise that asphalt is one of the most recycled materials in the world. It's no longer the case that asphalt languishes in a landfill - in fact, asphalt is 100% recyclable.
One of our Northland maintenance contractors, Fulton Hogan, delivers millings from roading projects to local businesses specialising in recycled asphalt surfaces. The teams stockpile and reprocess this material to produce a high-quality aggregate ready to be used again for driveways and other surfaces. Instead of creating brand-new asphalt, the old material is given a second life.
This process not only reduces waste but also lowers costs, supports sustainability, and helps minimise the demand for new raw materials. Choosing recycled asphalt is an eco-friendly, cost-effective option for driveway construction.
Recycling efforts like this are a win-win for businesses, road users, and the environment!
