“Green Asphalt” is just as good and provides great environmental benefits
“The Green Asphalt is produced in an asphalt plant which uses fossil-free fuels, it contains a large part of recycled material and, last but not least, a lower impact binder is used. This creates an asphalt that provides a much lower environmental impact thanks to lower carbon dioxide emissions, lower energy use and use of recycled materials,” says Helena Andell, Environmental Coordinator at Implenia Sweden.
By using Green Asphalt for the relatively small Londonviadukten and Hagalund projects alone, we have been able to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption from the laying of asphalt by nearly 70%, saving 76 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents (GWP) and 1,600 MWh.
"From a quality and production point of view, the Green Asphalt is as good as the traditional asphalt", says Niklas Hallström, Production Manager at Implenia Sweden.
