Recycled Asphalt Planings (RAP)
Reliable, quality crushed asphalt for construction
Day Aggregates processes asphalt arising from road reconstruction and resurfacing works to produce high-quality Recycled Asphalt Planings. This process is a key part of our circular approach, transforming road waste into a valuable, performance-led material for reuse across construction and infrastructure projects.
From Pavement, Back to Product
RAP is created from asphalt removed during highway maintenance and reconstruction. These materials are transported to our recycling facilities, where they undergo a controlled processing operation designed to ensure consistency, quality and compliance.
The material is first inspected and segregated to remove contaminants before being crushed and screened to achieve the required grading. Through this process, we produce a dependable material suitable not only for general construction use, but also for onward supply into asphalt manufacturing.
A key market for our RAP is supply to asphalt producers, where it is incorporated back into new asphalt products. By delivering consistently high-quality material, we support closed-loop recycling within the industry, helping ensure our customers can rely on RAP as a performance-driven, sustainable component in their mix designs.
Quality-Controlled Recycling
Maintaining product quality is central to our RAP processing. By managing feedstock sources and applying strict processing controls, we can deliver a consistent material suitable for a wide range of uses.
Recycling asphalt into RAP significantly reduces demand for primary aggregates and minimises waste sent to landfill. It also lowers the carbon footprint associated with extraction, processing, and transport.
By choosing Recycled Asphalt Planings from Day Aggregates, customers benefit from a sustainable, readily available material that supports environmental targets without compromising on performance.
