The material in question comprises recycled pavement obtained by removing the surface layer of existing asphalt roadways. This process, often termed milling, generates a product consisting of fragmented asphalt and aggregate. The resulting substance can vary in consistency depending on the milling equipment used and the composition of the original pavement.
Repurposing this material offers multiple advantages. It reduces landfill waste by diverting a substantial volume of discarded pavement. Furthermore, its utilization as a base or sub-base material in new construction projects can decrease the demand for virgin aggregates, contributing to resource conservation. Historically, its use has evolved from simple fill material to a more sophisticated component in road construction and maintenance.
