Description The Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Industry has been a long time supporter of recycling and encourages continued research in this area. Recycling, on a large scale, began in this Industry in the 1970's and has been growing ever since. FHWA And EPA's recent report to Congress indicated that 91 million metric tons of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) are produced annually with 73 million of those tons recycled into highway applications. That's 73 million tons per year of landfill space not used plus substantial savings in asphalt cement and aggregate. Hot Mix Asphalt is a 100% recyclable product and is designed to be that way. Portland Cement Concrete and aggregate also are not routinely recycled into HMA.
