RECYCLING

JET Materials, LLC, operates with a focus on business economies, waste reduction, conservation, and good environmental stewardship. Many of the products we transport, including asphalt and concrete, are from facilities that specialize in milling, recycling, and reuse, keeping landfill trips few, material reuse high, and construction costs low.

The Federal Highway Administration and National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) report that asphalt pavement is America’s most recycled and reused material, with a recycling rate now exceeding 99 percent.

According to the NAPA, “Use of environmentally friendly warm-mix asphalt great by more than 148 percent from 2009 to 2010, a trend that is expected to continue. Recycling of asphalt pavements and asphalt shingles in 2010 alone conserved 20.5 million barrels of asphalt binder.”
