NAPA’s tool for generating environmental product declarations (EPDs) for asphalt pavement mixes has new features in its latest version. The Emerald Eco-Label tool includes calculations to measure biogenic carbon in pavement materials in version 2.3.0. The update also includes changes to binder additives to account for biogenic carbon, while fixing bugs.

 

 

NAPA is thrilled to formally welcome 16 new members to the association. These companies were ratified by the Board during its Fall meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona. 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is still time to get recognized for the use of best practices in asphalt plant operations, terminal operations, asphalt production, and paving.

NAPA has extended its deadline for materials for the Diamond Commendation to Dec. 12 at midnight.

In the final episode of Pave It Black's eighth season, sponsored by Wirtgen Group, Richard and Brett once again pick up their conversation with Tim Kowalski and Laikram Narsingh. This time, they explore two innovative technologies changing the asphalt pavement industry: 3D paving and Cold Central Plant Recycling. Listen to learn what these technologies are, how they were developed, and hear about real-world examples of these technologies in action. Missed Part 1? Stream it now.

The International Conference on the Decarbonization of Asphalt Pavements aims to explore innovative solutions and best practices for reducing the carbon footprint associated with asphalt pavements. 

Researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts are invited to submit abstracts by Nov. 27.

 
 
 
 
 

Every day is America Recycles Day for asphalt pavement. That’s because asphalt is the nation’s most recycled product. How do we know? 

NAPA works with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), to quantify the use of recycling technologies through an annual survey. 

The full report includes state-by-state breakdowns of recycled materials usage.
