Fewer Shingles Means More Profit
Our proven process for turning asphalt shingles into performance grade asphalt keeps shingles out of landfills, giving you the opportunity to sell pellets and generate revenue while providing local hot mix asphalt plant owners with a durable, high-performing product. Our solution to shingle-mountains creates viable markets for post-industrial and post-consumer shingles, helping you turn waste into profit.
Save Money Without Sacrificing Asphalt Performance
We have turned a financial and environmental crisis into a solution that keeps petroleum-based asphalt shingles out of our landfills while providing durable, high-quality paving materials for the roads we all rely on for transportation and commerce.
For asphalt producers and C&D recyclers alike, our innovative recycling process offers a game-changing opportunity: a reliable, recyclable material that ensures continuous supply and contributes a circular economy for asphalt. By reimagining the process of creating paving materials that utilize RAS, we have created a solution that better manages our resources through circular business practices in waste collection, repurposing materials and recycling.
Cost Savings
Ability to reduce virgin asphalt by up to 1% in HMA and lower costs by incorporating 5% RAS pellets in the mix.
Process
The RAS is ground to typical 3/8" - and pelletized with a recycling agent embedded. This softens oxidized asphalt back to a paving PG grade, but is only applied to the shingles, not the entire HMA mix.
Effective
RenuCore pellets combine with base asphalts (e.g. PG64-22) to make a better-performing hot mix.
HMA Feed Rate
Easy to maintain a constant feed rate without agglomeration utilizing standard RAP Feeding equipment.
Improved Employee Safety
RenuCore pellets encapsulate the RAS, eliminating airborne fiberglass and reducing health risks at the HMA plant.
Improved Crack Resistance
Average CT index value increased from an average of 34 with no RAS, to 77 with 5% RAS pellets indicating an improved resistance to cracking with the addition of RAS pellets.
Storage
Pellets can be stored in a stockpile without risk of agglomeration, allowing for year-round production and use.
No Heat or Solvents
Grinding and pelletizing process occurs without heat or solvents.
No Added Waste
No yield loss or separation of shingle materials within the process.
Stockpile Reduction
RenuCore pellets can be produced with either post-consumer or post-industrial shingle waste, allowing for effective use of existing stockpiled materials.
