Sripath Resource Series: Sustainability in Asphalt

While performance and economics continue to be key drivers in the paving and roofing industry, critical concerns around sustainability in asphalt are taking over headlines. Increasingly, governments and departments of transportation are establishing carbon emissions guidelines in tandem with the performance specifications for their projects, causing contractors to rethink the methods and products they are using in order to achieve these goals.

At Sripath, we have developed innovative and environmentally friendly products from the start. Our additives are designed to help address key performance challenges in paving and roofing with asphalt or bitumen mixes while also providing potential for customers to lower their overall carbon footprint. From responsible sourcing to sustainable products, our commitment to sustainability includes transparent and public access to the Environmental Product Declarations and Sustainability Reports for our products.

We’re also committed to helping customers, partners, and other industry stakeholders better understand efforts in sustainability around the globe. To this end, our Sustainability in Asphalt Resource Guide is designed to provide access to helpful links and evolving stories around global environmental efforts toward net zero carbon emissions in the asphalt roofing and paving industry.
