DENVER, June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SurfaceCycle, a leading provider
of premier asphalt milling, recycling, and soil stabilization
services across the United States,
is excited to announce the completion of a historic achievement as
the first provider of asphalt recycling Verified Carbon Units
(VCUs)* in the United States,
available for purchase now. This groundbreaking achievement
is a significant step towards promoting sustainability and
environmental stewardship in the road construction industry.
Through its innovative Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) technology,
SurfaceCycle is not only revolutionizing asphalt recycling but also
leading the charge in environmental stewardship and resilient
sustainability by preventing the release of nearly 29,000 tons of
carbon emissions during a recent construction season. This is
equivalent to planting almost 1.5 million trees.
SurfaceCycle's commitment to sustainability has earned it the
distinction of being one of the first in the United States to receive verification for
asphalt recycling VCUs. Each metric ton of carbon emissions avoided
through its recycling process is independently verified and
certified by Verra, further solidifying SurfaceCycle's position as
a leader in environmental responsibility and innovation.
"We are proud to lead the industry in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and driving a broader adoption of sustainable and
cost-effective infrastructure construction methods. This is just
one of the steps in SurfaceCycle's journey as we innovate and drive
a wider adoption of environmentally-friendly approaches in our
industry," said Josh Chambers, CEO
at SurfaceCycle.
Traditional road repair methods often result in significant
carbon emissions and environmental impact. However, SurfaceCycle's
cold in-place asphalt recycling process renews existing pavement
materials in-place, reusing 100% of the asphalt, reducing the need
for new carbon-intensive resources and minimizing waste generation.
This sustainable approach not only enhances infrastructure
durability but also significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions
and costs associated with conventional road maintenance
practices.
"CIR is a proven method to restore the condition of our roads
while reducing construction costs by as much as 40% and greenhouse
gas emissions by up to 90%. Our company has led the way in asphalt
recycling for over 30 years, and we are proud to be at the
forefront of broader adoption of this environmentally friendly
construction method. We continue to meet with industry stakeholders
to discuss how they can save money and minimize environmental
impact while meeting their infrastructure renewal goals," said Dan
Schellhammer, P.E., Business Development Director at
SurfaceCycle.
SurfaceCycle's verified asphalt recycling carbon credits offer
tangible proof of its environmental contributions and provide a
valuable incentive for organizations seeking to reduce their carbon
footprint. By participating in carbon credit programs, SurfaceCycle
not only minimizes its own environmental footprint but also
encourages the adoption of sustainable road maintenance practices
nationwide.
As SurfaceCycle continues to expand its operations and
partnerships, it remains committed to driving positive
environmental impact and reshaping the road construction industry
for a greener, more sustainable future.
