Product Information Sheet Lafarge Asphalt is committed to being the leading developer and supplier in North America of innovative asphalt products designed to optimize quality, performance, durability and sustainability. Duracycle is a range of branded proprietary hot mix asphalt products which contain enhanced levels of recycled material; using local sources for recycled materials such as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Asphalt Shingle Modifier (ASM) and crushed glass sand, reduces the demand for primary aggregates and makes a significant contribution to sustainable resource and environmental objectives. FOAM NOZZLE Product Overview Duracycle™ is based on the knowledge that asphalt for use in road construction is 100% recyclable and the use of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) for recycling has been widespread for 30 years. Asphalt pavement is the most recycled material in the USA and each year over 100 million tonnes of asphalt pavement is reused or recycled into new pavements. A major benefit is that virtually all of this recycling happens at the top of the value / end use chain i.e. back into new asphalt material, without detriment or compromise to the quality of the finished product. Lafarge North America asphalt operations do not just recycle RAP but our mixes utilize 'waste' material from other industries, with roofing shingles, tire rubber, glass and spent rail ballast all being incorporated into new asphalt production reducing total life cycle greenhouse gases by 10%.
