  In the article, “Sustainability”, Missouri Asphalt Pavement Association (2013) discusses the “green” effects of asphalt. The article states that asphalt is considered “green” because it is non-disposable and reusable regardless of its age, while also allowing other waste products to be involved in the process. The article also explains how the development of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is revolutionary in asphalt paving through the incorporation of old asphalt into new asphalt. This is due to the fact that lesser pristine resources are used, thus reduces spending and fuel usage, which benefits both contractors and the environment. The article also highlights innovations such as Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) and porous pavements that are beneficial to the environment. The article claims that WMA reduces carbon footprints. In addition, porous pavements allow rainwater drainage into recharge beds for soil absorption and replenishes aquifers rather than forcing water into sewers. ...
