Cold Recycling

Smarter use of road materials. Measurably lower impact.

Cold recycling reuses existing road layers at ambient temperatures, cutting energy use, preserving material value, and delivering flexible, high-performance pavements.

Modern processes produce Bitumen-Stabilised Materials (BSM), now widely trusted across Europe and beyond for both rehabilitation and new construction.

At ART2025, we explored these key topics:

Sustainability and Environmental Impact

Investigate the carbon footprint of recycling methods, the reuse of materials, and techniques for meeting environmental regulations.

 

  • Evaluation of the carbon footprint of cold recycling versus traditional methods.

  • The re use of materials, such as reclaimed asphalt and incinerated waste slag, in cold recycling.

  • Assessments of life cycle impacts and resource conservation.

  • Methods to meet or exceed environmental regulations using recycled materials.

Watch This: Cold Recycling is Changing Infrastructure

In this very insightful documentary, discover the benefits of cold recycling in road construction.  Learn from experts at the University of California Pavement Research Center, Auburn University, and the National Center for Asphalt Technology as they discuss its effectiveness, sustainability, and economic advantages.
