In
honor of Earth Day, the experts at Roccie's Paving would like to shed
some light on the eco-friendly qualities of asphalt. It may sound
surprising to some, but asphalt pavement is actually one of the greenest
materials on the planet.
Here
are some facts about asphalt that you probably didn't know:
- Asphalt is the most-recycled material in the country, with more than 80 million tons recycled annually.
- The recycling of asphalt not only saves the environment, it saves taxpayers too; about $2.5 billion per year to be exact.
- Since 1970, the asphalt industry has reduced emissions by nearly 100%, while increasing production by 250%!
- Porous asphalt not only allows water to run through it, it can purify it as it happens. This eliminates much water runoff and allows water to return to the ground.
- Asphalt pavement can withstand heavy traffic loads for years on end. This saves time and money because there is a reduction in maintenance work, and the local wildlife benefits from this too.
If you
want to make an environmentally-conscious home improvement which can
boost your curb appeal and resale value, consider installing a new
asphalt driveway. Homeowners in Fairfield County, Connecticut and
Westchester County, New York can get a high-quality paving at a
reasonable rate from the asphalt experts at Roccie's Paving.
