NAPA’s Verified EPD Tool

Emerald Eco-Label, NAPA’s verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) tool, makes it easy to quantify the environmental impact of an asphalt mix. Created by industry professionals and stakeholders and evaluated by sustainability experts, the Emerald Eco-Label EPD tool was developed in conformance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, which establish principles and procedures for developing a Type III environmental declaration program and describes the potential environmental impacts of a product. ACCESS THE EPD TOOL HERE

NEW ASPHALT PLANT APEN 
CDPHE - AIR POLLUTION DIVISION

"RAP: Stockpile Emissions and Leachate" (SR 190) As communities and increasingly regulatory agencies look at potential impacts associated with RAP stockpiles, this publication provides credible scientific studies which reinforces RAP's inert nature.

"RAP as a Clean Fill Material" (SR 204) provides information to assist regulatory agencies in understanding how to use RAP as clean fill material.

BLACK is the new GREEN!

The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) has introduced two new publications, a sustainability report and a companion brochure. In announcing the new publications, NAPA President Mike Acott commented, "For decades, the asphalt pavement industry has been proactive in reducing the impact of its operations on the environment. The new report discusses some of the products we have developed – warm-mix asphalt, reuse/recycling, porous asphalt, and Perpetual Pavements – and shows how an accelerated deployment program could lead to even greater achievements." Click here to visit the National Asphalt Pavement Association website.
